Boris Johnson and his Brexit plans suffer a blow in the Supreme Court

BRITAIN’S SUPREME COURT has ruled unlawful Boris Johnson’s five-week suspension of Parliament. In a unanimous judgment read out by the court’s president, Lady Hale, the justices ruled that the prime minister’s action prevented Parliament from carrying out its constitutional functions without reasonable justification.The Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, has summoned MPs to sit on September 25th.

The judgment is devastating for the prime minister. Not only did he lose on every legal point, and do so unanimously, but also the justices in effect implied that he had misled the queen when seeking her agreement to the suspension with advice that “was unlawful, void and of no effect.” He had claimed this was necessary to prepare for a new legislative session to start on October 14th.

no

You'll one day realize that Teresa May was the best person to get you a great Brexit deal.

Cool sign in the background 'save our democracy' where the people directly voted to Brexit and parliament blocks it. Economist - no sense of irony? Are you blind. Democracy is thwarted again should be your lead sentence. 'The people's democratic voice is thwarted...'

ESTOY POR PONER A B. JOHNSON, JUNTO CON TRUMP, BOLSONARO, DUTERTE y otros.

Keep on loosing, Boris

The remainers are the worst scums of the human race lol

His inability to sever the UK from Europe without lying to the Queen doesn't give me confidence in Boris or his government. The inability of the Brexiteers to commune around a practical, feasible, negotiable plan doesn't give me confidence in the original Referendum at all.

Yes reopen Parliament so u muppets can continue to frustrate, sabotage & attack real democracy, oh the irony, three years wasn´t enough?
