Where in the Judgement did Lady Hale say he lied?

The advice was ruled unlawful - doesn't mean a lie was told.

Would be interesting to see the legal advice the government got when deciding to prorogue...

That's what the Cabinet are now saying too.

Do you honestly think if Brexit is cancelled that will solve everything? Do you?

Do you think the Brexiteers desire to leave a disgusting and corrupt "empire", (empire, not my terminology, but Verhoftstadt's.) will falter ?

I can tell you, mine won't, I do not want my country to remain in a corrupt and disgusting union, I have the right to live in a truly independent country, free from foreign interference, that will never go away.

Think you'll have to direct the corrupt disgusting etc. words at your own Govt.

I think she's had it up to here with Tory politicians what with Cameron's indiscrete revelations so wouldn't put it past her to not mince her words.

All this court decision does is reinstate the commotion stirred up by the remainers for another few weeks. Absolute mayhem.

The Chair of the Brexit Party disagrees with you...

Richard Tice, chairman of the Brexit Party, tells the BBC that today's decision is "seismic, historic" but MPs must think about what happens next.

"As soon as Parliament is recalled tomorrow, Boris Johnson is probably going to have to offer his resignation," he says.

"There may well be a vote of no confidence."

He says the public must now realise that "we're not leaving the EU on 31 October".

"There will have to be an extension. When that penny drops, people are going to be increasingly angry across the country," he says.

Mr Tice says there will probably have to be an election in the first half of November.

"What does it say about the so-called master strategist Dominic Cummings? I trust he will be offering his resignation today."

Now if Boris was genuinely proroguing Parliament to bring forward a bold policy platform why doesn't he do so for the minimum period? A week maybe?

1andrew1 · 24-09-2019, 12:03

I can't see Cummings surviving this. He has wrecked the Conservative Party.

Too right, lying was not raised in the judgement.

The lack of witness statements from the Government was noted throughout. There must be some good reason why none was supplied. It does raise suspicions why the Government did not choose to defend itself in this way. A cynical mind might think that such a statement would either be untrue and therefore perjury or evidence that the Government did lie to Her Maj

Unless his Advice started "this is probably against the law but I'm going to chance my arm..."

Dominic Cummings position is pretty well untenable.

Doesn’t the Attorney General need to resign? Isn’t his job to avoid these things?

Did he see anything to avoid?
