What could happen if Boris ignores this, could be go to prison hopefully bringing Dominic Cummings with him?

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 24/09/2019 11:29

The gammons are going BALLISTIC. But then it's only democratic, just, or legal when it goes their way.

bluebeck · 24/09/2019 11:31

He won't resign. Disgusting liar.

fussychica · 24/09/2019 11:33

Surely having broken the law he must resign but I bet he won't. The man has no shame. One debacle and lie after another but no doubt there will still be people saying what a great PM he is.

combatbarbie · 24/09/2019 11:34

Well presumably the Queen accepted the request after advice from her advisors..... So who's getting the sack for making HM look stupid?

WonderWomansSpin · 24/09/2019 11:34

It is interesting.
Parliament has shown itself incapable of reaching agreement so a few extra weeks won't have any impact. Unless they suddenly decide they can reach an agreement, in which case why are more people not annoyed that they've been so utterly ineffectual until now?

DonegalGhirl · 24/09/2019 11:34

BorishS already said he’ll abide by the Supreme Court ruling so must return to Parliament to face the music, however I think he’s in NY at the Climate Summit. I can see him arguing it’s more important for him to stay there thus avoiding tomorrow’s parliamentary question time.

What a huge big mess and there are no real winners!

She wore that brooch because she's a MNer and read the one about 'never going into daughter's bedroom again' this morning, while getting ready to do her stuff.
Finally some sense.
Does misleading HM count as treason?

Butchyrestingface · 24/09/2019 11:39

FUCKING YEEEESSSSSS!

Now resign, you bloated bawbag. 🔨 💥

bluebeck · 24/09/2019 11:39

Cummings should go too.

Parliament aren't there to just decide on brexit.Hmm

They are our legislative body. They pass our laws. They are there to hold the government to account. Preventing parliament doing either is illegal.

Proroguation takes four to six days normally, the government were unable to explain to the court why they wished five full weeks. In such a turbulent time as eight weeks before brexit and their role was key.

As such the court has deemed the very unusual five weeks, with no explanation at all as to why it was required to be so long, served no purpose other than to prevent parliament doing its legal duty.

Governments have to abide by the laws of the land. There is no ways round it.

He decided to do it to prevent parliament carrying out its duty with no reasonable justification provided. He then subsequently lied to the queen about why he wished to do it, and to gain royal assent.

He also may be held on contempt of court on his return, on two counts, as he has refused to hand over the full documents for proroguation and yellow hammer as he was required to do.

So she does. So why did she pick that one

Black Widow...

Some good news at last.

Anyone know where that brooch is from ?

Hullygully · 24/09/2019 11:46

YES!!! yesyesyesyesyesyes

Tiny weeny piddly bits of hope

raskolnikova · 24/09/2019 11:47

Gosh I was certain it was going to go the other way. In fact I was beginning to think Boris would just prorogue indefinitely and we'd never have a Parliament again... so good news!

Dodie66 · 24/09/2019 11:47

The conservatives are the only party who haven’t had their conference. The Labour one ends today

noodlenosefraggle · 24/09/2019 11:48

What an arrogant moron. Hes shown himself up as someone with no judgement or respect for Parliament whatsoever. He has listened to Cummings and has had no thought for anything other than his own ambition to be Prime Minister, which he has ballsed up spectacularly. He has shone a bright shining light on the role of the Monarch, who has absolutely no power whatsover. The judgement was 11-0. The Brexiteers wanted Parliamentary Supremacy back, well, here you are! This is exactly what Parliamentary Supremacy means in our constitution. The role of the Judiciary is to ensure that the government are acting lawfully and they have decided they are not.

mydogisthebest · 24/09/2019 11:49

So how come the first Court hearing found it legal? Just keep going to Court until you get the result you want then. Just as all the moaners want to do with the Brexit vote.

It's pathetic

LittleSweet · 24/09/2019 11:51

There was a law about domestic violence that wasn't passed because of Boris and his prorogue.

Bluntness100 · 24/09/2019 11:53

As much as I can't stand sturgeon I do agree with her statement she's making, which is when a sitting british prime minister is found to be behaving illegally he can't stay in power as it damages our democracy.

This really is something none of us have ever encountered in our lifetimes.

No need. That was the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court is the highest court in the land. On matters of constitutional importance, they are the last domestic Court of Appeal and will always have to rule. They also had to decide because of the contradictory case in the Scottish Court. the Supreme Court is the highest court in England and Scotland.

Bluntness100 · 24/09/2019 11:57

There are appeals in law, until it goes to the highest court in thr land, the Supreme Court snd their decision cannot be appealed. There is no further action that can now be taken. The Supreme Court, has given their judgement, they have not agreed with the English court.

The English court said it was political and nothing to do with the courts. The Supreme Court said parliament and the prime minister must act within the laws of the land. And they have many precedents to prove this, it is not disputable. As such if a government is thought to be acting illegally it is the courts place to supervise. Governments cannot act out with the law as the English court oddly ruled.
