UK Supreme Court rules that Boris Johnson's suspension of Parliament was unlawful

The U.K. Supreme Court has ruled that Prime Minister Boris Johnson's move to suspend Parliament was unlawful in a historic judgement Tuesday.

The Supreme Court Judge Lady Brenda Hale announced the judgement at the Supreme Court in London Tuesday morning, saying the prorogration had the effect of frustrating the ability of parliament to carry out its constitutional functions without reasonable justifications. She declared the prorogation was now"void and of no effect," and that Johnson's advice to the Queen was"unlawful.

Two court cases were then brought to challenge the suspension of Parliament which, after various appeals, reached the highest court in the land last week. Now the court has ruled this was illegal. The Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow who presides over debates in Parliament said lawmakers would be returning to work as soon as possible.

IanPannell Ok. So it was illegal. What will happen? Nothing. Just like 45 in the USA. All this hemming and hawing and nothing is done to punish the perpetrators.

IanPannell Despite no legislative changes, something that’s been legal for hundreds of years is suddenly illegal if judges don’t like it. Legislating from the bench doesn’t get any clearer.

Seems the UK has a lot more balls and integrity to stop their weird haired ruler in his illegal tracks...unlike USA that babies their deranged leader for their own profit.

Ooooooooh Boll ocks!!😳

I thought by design, anything approved by the Queen in the UK couldn't be illegal?

Resignation immediately, the nation is lost in Parliament
