He then goes on to state that that this would be considered an extraordinary event that the ‘not normally’ phrase would apply to and that in this circumstance he sees it perfectly reasonable for the U.K. to retain some of the powers.

So we now have one side arguing that the Sewel convention is being ‘torn up’ when Sewel himself is saying that’s simply not the case.
Amazing! A Labour Unionist supports the Unionist position. Who'd have thought that?

What is genuinely surprising, I think, is that several Scots Labour and Lib MPs backed the SNP last night at Westminster and Labs and Libs backed the SNP at Holyrood. Given that it obviously plays to the SNP's strategic political objective, then just maybe their support tells you there is something to the issue after all?
