Westministenders: Boris Johnson Broke The Law

[RedToothBrush]

ITS OFFICIAL
The Highest Court in the Land has ruled that Boris Johnson has broken the law.

Parliament is Sovereign.

Despite the calls for his resignation it is highly unlikely he will under the current political climate.

It must be stressed that the judgement was UNAMINOUS and went further than most expected, and took the hardest possible line again the government

The power now lies with the Speakers of the Lords and Commons to decide when Parliament reopens.

It also means that all the bills which were ended by proroguation are now back in play.

Expect a full backlash from the hard right attacking the courts are going full on 'enemies of the people'. This will be NASTY

The strength of this ruling does pretty much rule out another proroguation as the courts are liable to throw it out immediately if they try it on again.

Johnson is in New York. He needs to get on a plane very quickly.

Currently laughing but also crying a bit inside. Thanks Red.

Thank you Red

Thank you SpiderWoman

PMSL - sorry that should be PMK.

I expect Boris will be slightly grumpy today 😂

Early PMK for a change.

What brilliant news. If only we had an honourable PM who, having been adjudged to have acted unlawfully, would now resign.

An ecstatic PMK

This is going to get ugly fast, but the mean spirited bit of me is enjoying seeing BoJo get a bloody nose. I still think it's all going to end in No Deal, sadly.

First page PMK!

Good to see that Johnson and Cummings are not above the law. Not that it will make much difference to them.

Theresa May must be laughing her socks off; she would never have tried such a stupid stunt.

I never go in the Brexit Arms, but what are our Leaver friends saying there? I bet they are mardy, but they are supposedly great ones for 'Sovereignty'.

he needs to get his backside home instead of poncing about in america with his new friend, how is that helping brexit negotiations.

I don't give a shit if he doesn't want to resign. The buffoon should be forced out! He's broke the law, if we broke the law in any of our lines of work we'd be sacked wouldn't we? So why shouldn't he be sacked?

Whopee! History in the making!

PMK

PMK on resignation day?

If I were Boris, I would continue doing what I had planned and come back then.
This plays up to the EU about how strong the disorder in the UK is, best they go no deal and just watch, as anything agreed can now be overturned in court so why bother .

PMK

Just to continue the PM/Monarch theme, the real point is that it's impossible for the Queen to publicly trust Boris Johnson every again. I wonder how quickly it will start to dawn on Tories that is an untenable position if they want to govern the country.

Tory MPs very queasy. Not everyone sure PM will survive.

Graham Brady is back as head of the 1922 committee i believe... always good to see Brady on our screens...

House of Commons statement: “The House service's primary responsibility is to ensure the smooth running of parliamentary business. We are considering the implications of the Supreme Court’s judgment for Parliament and will provide further information as soon as we can.”

Thanks God what a relief for democracy. He has to go now surely? He has misled Queen and country.

Hoo hoo I just heard about this!
Deary me Johnson..what a silly man.

I don't think it will get "Nasty" though.

Lady Hale has firmly put Johnson in the Box of Shame.

Back to work then MPs, chop chop!
