After the ruling of the Supreme Court surely he has to resign? I’m not wanting to start a brexit post here. His actions have been ruled unlawful by our most senior court, not been a great few days coming after the revelations of his dalliance with the American woman |  |

" Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s turbulent path to Downing Street, serial philandering and ethical sloppiness became part of his schtick, blots on a career so chaotic and beguiling that the British public always seemed to forgive the mistakes."
I absolutely love this summation.
Not sure if BJ was a married man and in a position of trust at the time of the alleged dalliance with the blonde, but hey ho. |  |

Only one thing for Boris to do now- appeal to the European Court Of Human Rights ! Just heard him waffling on the radio as though nothing has happened ! Somebody needs to hand him the glass of whiskey and the petal handled revolver. [Post edited 24 Sep 2019 13:21]

She was eligible to be on them, but whether she was eligible for the resulting funding is a different matter | |

A fair point
She was, at the time, a legitimate businesswoman and eligible to be included on the trade mission
There were other emissions that weren't taken into account | |

I’m becoming more and more convinced that he’s actually way out of his depth. He’s said that the Court’s decision will make getting a deal more difficult (very questionable). That infers that the real reason he suspended Parliament was indeed Brexit. He’s confirming the Court’s Judgement. He then, however, says that he disagrees with the Court’s Judgment. Boris, the only way you can do that is to insist that your suspension of Parliament had nothing to do with Brexit.
It’s becoming increasingly apparent every time he opens his mouth why the Court found the way it did and why the Judges were unanimous.
You can’t have it both ways Boris. You can’t insist that your decision to suspend Parliament was nothing to do with Brexit but then bemoan the recalling of Parliament as a hindrance to Brexit.
He seems to want to have the right to lie, and because the reason is Brexit then that’s somehow alright. [Post edited 24 Sep 2019 15:19]

I don't think there's any doubt - by anyone - as to why he took the decision to prorogue parliament
If however, he'd (quite legitimately) called for a parliamentary recess to allow for the usual party conferences and then a Queen's speech i doubt anyone would've batted an eyelid
It was the unnecessary length of the prorogation that caused the legal challenge, not the reason for it. The Supreme Court only adjudicated that the action was unlawful by dint of preventing parliamentary scrutiny due to the length of the prorogation. To have adjudicated that the action was unlawful due to the reason for it would've been to overstep into the realm of politics, which it was very careful not to do (unlike the Scottish court)

I've heard apparently there's a few at the club partial to a good stag do,so that would have gone down a storm. They might even need to book an extra room for them all... [Post edited 24 Sep 2019 16:51]

Preventing scrutiny vis-a-vis Brexit and it was this that led them to the conclusion that the prorogation was unlawful, that is, it wasn’t for the reasons he provided. Boris’s position has always been that the prorogation had nothing to do with stopping Brexit scrutiny. By logic then he can’t say that recalling Parliament will hinder Brexit. In doing so, he’s admitting that the prorogation was to stop Parliament scrutiny of Brexit. He’s contradicting himself massively. The only way he can disagree with the Court’s Judgement is by sticking to his assertion that it had nothing to do with Brexit. [Post edited 24 Sep 2019 17:35]

I accidentally clicked up not down, so your post should be on -2 now.
You don't agree with the rule of law or the sovereignty of Parilament then? If he could prorogue for 5 weeks legally, what's to stop any PM proroging for 2 years and just ruling via the executive, cutting out the representatives of the people? |
Are they basically saying the length of time requested must be proportionate to the reasoning given in advising for/requesting prorogation?
Maybe if Boris and Jacob had submitted 500 pages of horse shit to support and explain’ their reasoning to request a longer than usual closure - it would have worked.
With no constitutional legal length of time stated anywhere for the max period that that can be reasonably asked for to prepare for a queens speech - then to my mind a paper that supported the reasoning would have been very difficult to take apart. The overwhelming ruling comes because Boris and Jacob provided FA. I’d love know what has been provided in the past at the ending of parliament and before a legal prorogation prior to the Queens Speech - what supporting evidence or docs has made all the other prorogation’s ok?
It would have been really interesting what the outcome would have been had Boris and Jacob submitted something in support of the extended closure. Submitting nothing and asking for 5 weeks not cricket........ would have providing something and asking for 3 weeks say have been game on? | | | |

I think it is brilliant. Keep everything dragging on and make businesses really confused. Hope trade goes downhill as a result. Hope Corbyn becomes PM! Or Swinson! Hope the country remains a laughing stock round the world. Hope the country continues it’s plummet into the mire. What a crap country we live in! Still,we’ve got the media to keep telling us what a fantastic country we are. It is for the establishment. They won’t give the people another chance to express themselves. | | | |
