Boris Johnson told to ‘consider his position’ after UK’s top court rules his suspension of parliament was unlawful in humiliating rebuke

LONDON — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s decision to shut down the British parliament for five weeks in the run-up to Brexit was unlawful, the Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday in a humiliating rebuke to him.

“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.” Sterling initially rallied by about a third of a cent against the U.S. dollar after the news, before paring gains slightly, and at 1005 GMT stood 0.25 per cent up on the day at US$1.2460.

There are calls for him to resign for breaking the law and ignoring the rule of law. He might resign, time will tell. But here in Canada not even a mere slap for our current above the law, privileged elitist PM. Poor Canada.

oooo humiliating rebuke... not ignoring a democratic vote for years on end. nothing humiliating about that.
