Clear and unequivocal backing for the SC ruling from Shabana Mahmood. Good to see and a tad surprising - I might be wrong but I seem to recall her being on the other side? In any event, seems clear that Labour are going to stand by the ruling. I'm sure many of them are secretly delighted that they don't have to make any decisions and can just put it on the SC:

This is a good quote from her:
“They obviously provided the legal clarity in their legal decision, which is exactly their job. I think it’s disappointing since then that some individuals have sought to question the validity of
the Supreme Court or cast aspersions, which is absolutely unacceptable.
“I think they’ve done their job and I think they’ve sought to do it in a way that recognises that we’re talking about a balance of rights, but sought to give confidence to a minority community that they still have protections.”
