'What law did Boris Johnson break?
Boris Johnson's prorogation did break the law, but it broke constitutional, not criminal law.
By preventing Parliament's right to hold the government to account, he broke the rules governing how the UK functions.
What he did was "unlawful" - meaning it wasn't permitted or conforming to the law. But it is not "illegal" - which would mean forbidden by law.'
From the Brexiteer red top....
At no point did i say he had done something illegal....
