The Scottish government has announced it will join Miller et al in the challenge to Article 50 (HERE). The appeal is to be heard on 5th December (HERE).
However, The Telegraph reports (HERE) that Euro sceptic Conservative MPs are trying to organise a quick vote in Parliament to try and get around the appeal court hearing. They seem to think a short motion authorising the government to invoke Article 50 at any time up to the end of march next year will be enough. It will be interesting to see if this gets the support of the majority. I am sure the opposition will vote against and it only needs a few Conservative Europhiles to vote against to defeat it.
It will give some idea of the feeling inside the HoC.
David Davis has said he will share his thinking with the devolved governments (HERE) as some sort of sop.
