Letters: Showdown with the Supreme Court highlights the growing political power of the judiciary

SIR – Anyone who followed Lord Sumption’s Reith Lectures earlier this year will be aware that an unspoken issue is at play in the current Supreme Court hearing relating to Boris Johnson’s decision to prorogue Parliament . It concerns the creeping accretion of power by the judiciary, a phenomenon apparent across the Western world.

In other news FailingTelegraph is read by people who think the rich are above the law and they should get to enrich themselves further by shorting the entire country. So no change there whatsoever. Next!

If the courts become political then the judiciary will, inevitably, be appointed by politicians and their independence and impartiality will be forfeited.

We should keep the Telegraph out of politics!

Not if the abuse of power from prime minster is involved.

'... if it will reflect badly on the Tories'

Sir, As a ninety three year old buffer who favours capital punishment and deplores the overrunning of our fair country by foreigners while thinking being gay is a disease and Jeremy Corbyn could be the Antichrist I think the courts should be busier locking more people up...

Should also keep liars and charlatans out of number 10 but that hasn’t worked out recently either.

Johnsongraph readers don’t believe in an independent judiciary. Shock horror

But the EU are paying all the legal fees why they’re fighting Brexit so much.

How many pseudonoms can the Barclay bros. manage?

And how have we arrived at this state? Non-investigation of law-breaking Lies Contrivance Avoidance of scrutiny & debate

Its in the Bill of Rights 1689!

These people should not be held above the government & it shows no matter how hard we believe, these people have removed legal aid, anything which benefits the people of the four nations, don't let these people divide us as a UK! Remember that BBCNews SkyNews Courtsnotinvolved

Obviously you’ll be informing your readers that they’re looking at the law, not politics. And where judiciary fits in the scheme of things.

Politicians shouldn’t break the law then!

BorisJohnson Jacob_Rees_Mogg - then our politicians should be just, decent, honest and true. We wouldn't need the judiciary to intervene then.

Then stop doing illegal things in politics. It's that simple

😇😇😇😇😇😇😇. 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇.
