Supreme Court to rule on Scottish independence referendum case
Independence supporters will hold rallies in towns and cities across Scotland on Wednesday
Its decision is due to be delivered at 09:45 on Wednesday, with the result potentially having huge implications for the future of the UK. But a series of prime ministers - including Rishi Sunak - have argued that the country's focus should be on dealing with issues such as the cost of living crisis and the war in Ukraine rather than independence, and that the result of the 2014 referendum should be respected.
But it is also not going to put the issue to bed on its own. Regardless of the outcome, an almighty political row is going to follow the case. If the UK government wins, Ms Sturgeon is not going to simply give up on independence. She has been clear that she would paint such an outcome as another roadblock in the path of Scottish democracy, and would hope that the perceived unfairness of being denied a say would prompt a wave of public support.
The case was referred to the Supreme Court by Lord Advocate Dorothy Bain KC, the Scottish government's top law officer.
