    Not really. There are guidelines for what devolved government can and cant make laws on. The judgement is that this Scottish legislation does not fall under them. SNP should propose the legislation change in the commons to be applicable across the whole UK, not just Scotland. They do have a considerable amount of MPs there. What is the point of having them if they only want to make changes in Scotland.

    As for what the DUP is up to, this is purely party politics on the Tory side. The DUP is very much aligned with the Tory party. The Tories should be calling for a new election in Ireland. But it has to be recognised that Sinn Fein did exactly the same thing in 2017-2020. This is not how they should be working for their constituents. This is down to how the UK government applies pressure. Both parties need to find alternatives way to voice their disapproval over matters. This is not how democracies are run, this is pure blackmail and nothing else.
