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.

Listening to hysterical triumphalism of Jezzer, the Nationalists, the Greens, the Tory rebels etc etc I think they may disagree with youI’m not sure anyone ‘wins’ when governments start behaving like this.

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.

El Presidente
Why did John major get away with it ?
I would imagine because nobody challenged its legality.
Now precedent has been established.

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."

So are they going to appeal to the European court then?
They are appealing it to Donald Trump.
