David Coburn has criticised Nicola Sturgeon for “interfering” in Brexit negotiations and told her to accept the Brexit vote. 

Reports emerged this week that a group of parliamentarians in Scotland were plotting legal action in a bid to disrupt Britain’s exit from the bloc. 

Some Scottish politicians are aiming to secure a judicial review to establish whether Britain can unilaterally revoke the the EU's Article 50 departure mechanism. 

Mr Coburn said: “Nicola Sturgeon should cease interfering in Brexit negotiations. It is not her constitutional role.

“Scotland voted to remain part of the UK in the independence referendum knowing, there would be a forthcoming European referendum. 

“We voted as part of the United Kingdom and everyone knew that. The SNP must accept the democratic decision of the British people as a whole. 

“Scotland needs certainty and creating uncertainty about her relationship with the United Kingdom damages Scotland’s businesses and jobs. 

“Scotland will be exiting the European Union with the rest of the United Kingdom whether Sturgeon likes it or not.”

Some Scottish politicians have launched a crowdfunded bid to establish whether Britain would be able to overturn the Brexit process.

Ministers have been given a December 12 deadline to respond but the group said the letter is but a first stage in a "proposed judicial review."

Pro-Brexit MSP Oliver Mundell criticised his colleagues, saying: “This is another attempt by the loony Left to overturn the democratic will of the British people.

“It is a complete distraction from securing the best deal for Scotland and rest of the UK.”

Lord Kerr, the Scottish architect of Article 50, believes it is reversible while Liz Truss the former justice secretary, has claimed it is not. David Davis, the Brexit Secretary, has refused to state either way. 

During the 2016 EU Referendum, Scotland voted in favour of Remain by 62 per cent to 38 per cent.
