UK’s Supreme Court ruled that Prime Minister Boris Johnson had acted unlawfully when he advised Queen Elizabeth to suspend parliament weeks before Brexit - and that therefore the suspension was void

The ruling paves the way for legislators to return to parliament, where Johnson has no majority. It could give lawmakers, most of whom are opposed to leaving without the EU without a divorce agreement as he has threatened to do, further opportunity to impede his strategy. “Parliament has not been prorogued. This is the unanimous judgment of all 11 justices,” she added. “It is for parliament, and in particular the speaker and the Lords speaker, to decide what to do next.”

“I welcome the Supreme Court’s judgment that the prorogation of Parliament was unlawful,” said the speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow.

Parliament did exactly as the Queen would have wished they did. You don't see mad at their decision. She wants a good leader chosen by the people. She just wants to be at peace. I think this was a test she saw coming for Boris. Shes probably like 'hahaha always plan correctly'

hillbilleter Ouch.

I saw Belinda de Lucy, MEP-Brexit Party, on BBC news and she said “people would vote the way Nigel (Farage?, Trump’s buddy) instructed them.... So much for democracy!

Kudos to the UK for quickly reigning in their lawless 10DowningStreet! Wish our government could be as efficient at reigning in realDonaldTrump

Trump's impeachment hunt diverts attention from Kavanaugh and Judge Friedman. A Louisiana Judge, stated J. Friedman matter is criminal tied to California decisions, connected to Judge John F. Walter. 18 USC section 1962 & 1503. Unseal FBI investigation. Barr is disqualified...

Can the queen fire him

Anyone with the slightest modicum of ethics would have RESIGNED WITHIN THE HOUR. However everyone knows Johnson has NO ethics.. (doesn't even know the word) and will keep on and on and on LYING to EVERYONE.. including the QUEEN.

ORDERRRRRRR!

Poor Boris. I don't normally feel for people in parliament but he really needs our help. How the hell does anyone know what was said between him and The Queen. Only they know unless they were being taped (and that is illegal). Just assumption.

Owned.

He must resign.

Another dictator, just what the world needs another Trump? Wake up before this gets worse, Dictators only care about themselves

The backlash to authoritarianism is mounting,

Congrats to UK from US - seems like we might finally be turning the tide on both sides of the pond! Cheers!

Very Good News For Them ✔

What's your impeachment policy? Asking for a friend... 😹💕

I read one news report that HM was sick and tired of all the shit that was happening in the UK parliament and told Boris 'just fix it'. Maybe that was actually true. We are all sick of this nonsense.

At least the Supreme Court in the UK can put a stop to its leaders when they are obviously breaking the law ....... shame SCOTUS doesn't want to do the same in the US UKpoli

Disgraceful. Just ignore it Boris. The courts do not rule, the Govt & the Sovereign does. Get the Queen to dissolve Parliament till 1st Nov...The End

The decision of these Judges is clearly again another elitist inspired Anti Brexit, biased decision designed to destroy any last vestige of hope that those that voted to leave the EU, in what was a legitimate lawful referendum may have had. Biased and unworthy of British Justice.

YES!

Looks like the Globalists have taken control of the 🇬🇧 Brexiteers are in the fight for their lives. Good luck keeping your country, I fear it may be too late. Wake Up America, they are coming for us too. AmericaFirst KAG Trump2020

danielschuman Boris, worst case of permanent bed head I've ever seen!!

this gorilla is a shame for U.K. and for her Majesty the Queen

malobations And Another one bites the dust!! 😂😂😂😂

The Queen is too old to reign. She has committed so many mistakes during this Brexit saga and has been abused by fascists in Westminster. Also, she’s paralyzed by family kompromat from the Epstein scandal. It’s time for her to abdicate! Unless she wants a Republic.

How politicians will look post Brexit

Salaams Boris Johnson Is More Delusional And Demagogic Than realDonaldTrump Thinking Queen Elizabeth Can Suspend The Parliament. Boring Boris, Won't Ve Eesidin 10 Downung Street Very Long, In Sha Allah God Willing...

👍

Off with his head !

I'm embarrassed as an American. Why would we allow a corrupt president and many of his party leaders to drag our country down?!

The courts have been extra busy keeping conservatives in line in the past few years. Good for the UK Supreme Court.

Jeezuz wept...why do I feel so much rage over this haircut catastrophe!

Just like the 2016 US Presidential election should be... null and void.

OMG.

Time to prorogue Boris Johnson, permanently!

Please let the Brexit season finale last forever, it's too entertaining...

If only Americans could stand up to corruption. The greatest country on Earth has become the most corrupt on Earth.

And they have gone on holiday with hefty bank accounts I suspect.

So now they LOCK HIM UP?

If he is really that clever he would have anticipated it. So see how he reacts. What smoke screen he will pull up this time.

So the Queen and PM have no power and the country is run by the court?

BorisJohnson I expect your resignation by the end of the day ResignNow resignboris

Who trust those stupid left judges?

A welcome victory for democracy. Well done UK. Keep up the good fight.

After such ruling he should resign with immediate effect

Will he get his money back for his little holiday to America booked via Thomas Cook?

And wouldn't it be great if America's lawkeepers also found it's backbone.

Resign BorisJohnson A simple decision you should be able to get right.

What happens next will be the most interesting theater of all
