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

[I'm With Stupid]

Can anyone explain the difference between "acted in an unlawful manner" and "broken the law?" I've noticed everyone on the news is being very careful to not say the latter.

I think the only law that still carries the death penalty is treason.

Could he be tried for treason? I don't know

Nothing still carries the death penalty.

This is way more important than who wins an election, who is PM or anything,. Today was historical because it established the rights of the legislature to hold the executive to account. That is a big win for democracy, huge win and it doesn't matter which party you support you should be delighted that our democracy is safe from being used for nefarious ends.

The justices concluded that as a result of Johnsons actions "the effect on the fundamentals of our democracy was extreme" That is coruscating.

Thank fuck, we have an independent Judiciary.

They were testing the water, for doing it again.

No political party should ever be able to behave like this again, it's dangerous.

Astonishing sentence in the court's judgment :

"It is impossible for us to conclude on the evidence... that there was any reason - let alone a good reason - to advise Her Majesty to prorogue Parliament for five weeks."

Not just that the government didn't have a good reason for prorogation but it had no reason at all!

Referendum.

I thought treason was still punishable by death in this country?

That was high treason and that law was changed in 1998.

Under EU law that was done away with.

There’s a fucking huge spider crawling up her blouse. She’s gonna freak when she sees it.

Under EU law that was done away with.

It was the crime and disorder act 1998 that got rid of it.
