Prorogation - Judgment Day:10.30am Tuesday 24/9/19

[Neville Kneville]

Wow.
Didn’t expect that.
Unanimous too.

I’m off to get the popcorn.
What happens now?

If he has a shred of decency he will resign.

So, no idea.

Good job we had to do away with the Death sentence for treason when we joined the Eu

Bleeding EU!


Can we leave this afternoon, please?

 

[bluethrunthru]

This also means that as well as Johnson lying to the Queen on the phone that JRM misled Her Maj face to face at Balmoral.

 

[George Hannah]

I’m not sure anyone ‘wins’ when governments start behaving like this.

Listening to hysterical triumphalism of Jezzer, the Nationalists, the Greens, the Tory rebels etc etc I think they may disagree with you

 

[The perfect fumble]

Wow.
Didn’t expect that.
Unanimous too.

I’m off to get the popcorn.
What happens now?

You need to go back to 1642 for precedent, but I think they nail Johnson's knackers to the Tower of London for the crows to snack on.

 

[Rascal]

Why did John major get away with it ?

I would imagine because nobody challenged its legality.

Now precedent has been established.

 

[The perfect fumble]

Reacting to the ruling, Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow says: "I welcome the Supreme Court’s judgement that the prorogation of Parliament was unlawful.

"The judges have rejected the government’s claim that closing down Parliament for five weeks was merely standard practice to allow for a new Queen’s Speech.

"In reaching their conclusion, they have vindicated the right and duty of Parliament to meet at this crucial time to scrutinise the executive and hold ministers to account.

As the embodiment of our Parliamentary democracy, the House of Commons must convene without delay.

"To this end, I will now consult the party leaders as a matter of urgency."

 

[bluethrunthru]

Don’t know who’s more inept Johnson or Solskjaer

I can see a partnership there though.............OGS as dep PM or better still Johnson as assistant manager at the swamp

 

[Ifwecouldjust.......]

Corbyn has just called for Johnsons resignation (TO CONSIDER HIS POSITION) at the Party Conference

Blackford SNP calls on Johnson to resign.

Watson Labour calls on Johnson to resign.


Im waiting for the same for Rees Mogg

 

[Neville Kneville]

So are they going to appeal to the European court then?

They are appealing it to Donald Trump.

 

[west didsblue]

Is anyone on here still defending Johnson?

 

[HelloCity]

It might be better for Corbyn if Johnson stays on now because of the huge damage this will do to Johnson’s reputation.

what hysterical triumphalism from Jezzer? He wasn't at the court as the party conf is on - when asked to comment he "invited the Prime Minister to consider his position" - not screaming about GE' or anything. I fear your dislike of Corbyn now has you seeing things.

 

[smudgedj]

Did I hear right that's she's handed the keys to Bercow and he can open up shop when he wants?

Sounds like it.
"Parliament has not been prorogued - it is for the speaker to decide"

 

[Rascal]

So we were both wrong and Chris in London, Remainers won after all.

The rule of law and democracy won.

This is way more important than brexit George, way more important. Its about how our country is goverened, it is in effect Taking Back Control.

 

[waspish]

If Johnson resigns will the oppositions take charge of parliament? Or do we go to a General election?

 

[The perfect fumble]

 

[TheRemainsOfTheDave]

Trump?

all that "dodging a GE he has been asking for" jibes were ignored by Labour because this was the long run game. Johnson and the genius Cummings in a fit of pique destroyed their majority - its now just destroy Johnson and by association his party's reputation THEN take them on at a GE. They forget people like Corbyn have been in politics for more years than either of them have been alive. He has survived leadership challenges and knows how the game is played. Johnson ( and Cummings ) have shown their amateurism in all this.

This may have been brought to court by a remainer but this goes beyond Brexit and anything else its an abuse of power.
