Not long to go now and I'll go on record as saying I expect the government to win this one.

Either way it may well all kick off again though.

The highest court in the UK is making a historic ruling on whether Boris Johnson's decision to suspend Parliament for five weeks was lawful.

Ministers say the suspension, or prorogation, is not a court matter, but critics argue it was intended to limit scrutiny of the PM's Brexit plans.

If the judgement - due at 10:30 BST - goes against Mr Johnson, Parliament could be reconvened immediately.

The government has said it will "abide by the ruling" of the Supreme Court.

But Mr Johnson - who is in New York for a UN climate conference - has refused to rule out seeking to prorogue Parliament for a second time if the ruling goes against him. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49805024

Bunch of Liberal judges what did anyone expect?

Hardline judges would have agreed with Bojo.

[Jimbuna]

The Supreme Court is the highest court in the land.

Nigel has tweeted Psycho Dominick must go as reported on SKY News, this I agree with.

Parliment will be open tomorrow at 11:30am the Speaker of the House has said.

"The decision to advise Her Majesty to prorogue Parliament was unlawful because it had the effect of frustrating or preventing the ability of Parliament to carry out its constitutional functions without reasonable justification."

This was of course Boris' intention

Agreed

Jeremy Corbyn is leading calls for Boris Johnson to resign after the Supreme Court ruled the PM's decision to suspend Parliament was unlawful.

The Labour leader said Mr Johnson should "consider his position" in a short statement to the party's conference in Brighton.

The SNP's Ian Blackford, speaking outside the High Court, said: "Boris Johnson must resign immediately." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49810679

Nothing beats stating the obvious but on this occasion I'd have to say 'No thanks'

Bojo has only one card left and that is to make a brexit deal but as we all know from the EU end they have said talks what talks. It is game over for Bojo time to call for a general election it's the only way he can stay leader of the Tories for now.

[Jimbuna]

Steptoe and his gang aren't as confident about winning an election as some of them would have you believe.

The vote over remaining or otherwise at conference yesterday has potentially made many safe seats into marginal ones.

[STEED]

The general election will be a high risk gamble for all party's. I think we will end up with another hung parliament and the mess will continual, popcorn anyone?

Therefore, I disagree with the court, but I expected nothing else, since this judge has decided against Brexit ambitions and pro EU before. But as I see it, this case is no issue for a court ruling at all. The court hearing should not have even taken place. And obviously there are judges in lower courts that agree with that and declared right that: that their court was to stay out of political things.



If the Constitutional Court in Germany can make a joke of itself so many times, then why not the British highest court as well. After all, they know all too well whose hand it is that feeds them.
