Scottish, Welsh, NI leaders assert EU future, self-determination

The First Ministers of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland issued a joint statement claiming a 'right to self-determination' and affirming their future lies in the EU. This is a symbolic political declaration, not a legal action, but it signals coordinated sub-state pressure on the UK government over Brexit and constitutional arrangements. The statement's impact depends on whether it translates into concrete political initiatives or remains rhetorical.
