[jojojo]

Declared unlawful - that's big.

 

[Smores]

Come on make it null

 

[unchanged_lineup]

This is fairly thrilling stuff actually.

 

[owlo]

He's even more fecked than I thought.

This is brutal listening if you're the government.

Told ya'll so days ago! Feeling pretty smug right now. Big moment coming up now on what they do about it.

[Kentonio]

Prorogation void. Feckin hell!!

"Parliament has not been prorogued. This is the unanimous verdict of all 11 justices."

 

[ha_rooney]

wow!!! SC just destroyed Boris

 

[CassiusClaymore]

Well well well.

 

[Smores]

Well done. God isn't it nice when decisions are taken that actually make sense

 

[jojojo]

A surprisingly clear cut result. Well done that court.

 

[unchanged_lineup]

"Parliament has not been prorogued. This is the unanimous verdict of all 11 justices."

The unanimous aspect is incredible. I couldn't have expected that.

 

[TheReligion]

Ho ho ho I'll fetch the popcorn

 

[TheReligion]

Got to resign?

 

[ha_rooney]

Unanimous decision makes it even better.

 

[esmufc07]

So what happens now? Can he just prorogue again next week?

 

[Fully Fledged]

He's even more fecked than I thought.

Lock him up
Lock him up

 

[esmufc07]

Got to resign?

In normal times you'd have to say yes.

 

[Ekkie Thump]

Unanimous finding against the government on all counts and as thoroughly as possible. Brilliant ruling.

 

[Smores]

The Tory on Skynews had a face like thunder

 

[owlo]

Got to resign?

Absolutely. Would be my prediction for what happens next. Resigns as a martyr, goes for a GE and a majority. If he doesn't, parliament are going to push back HARD now.

You never know though.

 

[ha_rooney]

the looks on the faces of Brexiteers

Can Parliament impeach?

Can Parliament impeach?

Yes. That's primarily political though. There's also contempt of court, misuse of public office, and a few other offences if he tries to maneuvre another prorogation or similar.

 

[Kentonio]

So what happens now? Can he just prorogue again next week?

Not a prayer after this.

"Worst possible outcome for our democracy" according to a Tory MP on BBC - fecking idiots these lot

 

[Infra-red]

Jaw dropping stuff. History in the making. Johnson needs to resign.

Literally the opposite.

Idiots, but it is also very dangerous and inflammatory language.

Think we just need to have a civil war.
