Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister:
“I greatly welcome today’s High Court judgement on the foolhardy challenge to Brexit.
“The rejection of all the Remoaners’ arguments was emphatic and comprehensive. It is time they got over themselves and ended their futile attempt to stop the tide of the democratic decision to leave the EU. Get with the programme of making a success of the huge opportunities of Brexit.
“Since it was ridiculous that the McCord challenge was funded by the taxpayers through Legal Aid, I will be writing again to the Legal Services Commission urging that it does not waste further public money on supporting any appeal he might seek to bring. If he feels so deeply about this, then let him spend his own money, not sponge on the public purse.”
