I was interested enough to go looking for the original quote. I found it here, in an opinion piece from April last year:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/04/19/snp-implosion-is-a-chance-to-put-devolution-in-reverse/
"So now: do something different. Not only must no more powers be devolved to Scotland, it’s time to reverse the process. Devolution was designed in a different world – a world in which many powers theoretically devolved to Scotland were actually held at EU level and could not be exercised in practice. Brexit changed that, but rather than using the opportunity to rationalise things, a complex programme of “common frameworks” was established, making the UK Government a supplicant to the devolved administrations to maintain common rules across the country."
