The UK is grabbing power back from the un elected corrupt tyranny of the EU, surely that's a good thing isn't it?

Depends on who's doing the grabbing. The concern here is that the power is being grabbed from -- yes, the EU, but also Parliament and the devolved administrations. Neither of the last two are what Brexit should be about.

As I said yesterday, though, I don't know how valid the concerns are. But it would be a good idea to stop misrepresenting them...

The moaners should show where in the draft bill it indicates the devolved parliaments won't get it.

Is it merely about their interpretation to further their hampering process or is there actually a real problem?

Would it be beneficial to draft a bill that hogties the hands of government or once the repeal is enacted to ensure whatever appropriate powers are devolved to do so?

I say scrutinise the bill and ask for clarification but stop saying it is a dud for the sake of it.

Question Author

is there any EU law that applies to the devolved nations directly and not the UK? I'd say we are simply pulling the whole shebang bank into UK law.

I don't think I could agree more Tory.

"is there any EU law that applies to the devolved nations directly and not the UK?"

Yes. Or, at least, sort of. There are laws relating to the devolved administrations that rely on EU law one way or another. And lots of such laws.

Best I can do cassa is point you to Schedules Two and Three of the bill (linked in the other thread on this topic), which deal with the devolved administrations. I honestly can't say if Sturgeon has a point or not, but that's the relevant passage so I'll leave you to look at it and reach your own judgement.
