SNP MP Ian Blackford went up against Theresa May during Prime Ministers Questions today to ask if Holyrood's vote to reject the EU Withdrawal Bill would be respected - but he didn't really get an answer.
Holyrood yesterday refused to give consent to move forward with the bill as it currently stands.
In its current form, the bill would allow Westminster to strip the Scottish Parliament of certain devolved power without MSPs having any say.
Blackford asked Theresa May if she would respect the democratic will of Scotland, or if she would move ahead without the consesnt of parliament for the first time.
This is her answer.
Peter Curran shared the video on YouTube after PMQs.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
