So scots law is indepednent from english law isn't it, so there's no higher court of appeal?

But equally how the gently caress does that even work for jurisdiction over the UK parliament as a whole.

Joke answer: only the SNP is allowed to sit, meaning that for the next five weeks the UK will be run by scotland.

Does that mean technically parliament is no longer prorogued until the supreme court decides otherwise?

So like, they can go sit this week?

I don’t know the ins and outs of exactly how the case itself was different but it will have been considered under Scots Law instead, and parliament has to effectively satisfy both Scots Law and English Law.

In Scots Law at least, which does not have jurisdiction over England & Wales, but Parliament has to satisfy both under the Act of Union.

I hope this means that they have to try to get the mace to a building in Scotland to sit lawfully.

It’s more that if Labour had a coherent, agreed and sellable Brexit position then a good campaign and high youth turnout might avoid a vote collapse into third place.

Going full-bore pro-Europe would *lose* Labour seats because Remain votes are heavily concentrated in areas that already have Labour majorities. If every single Remain voter voted Labour they would end up with a record popular vote... and 200 seats. Stop pretending your lived experience and preferences are universal.

It's a vague attempt to dissociate 'Boris' the lovable scamp media persona exemplified by HIGNFY and media taint licking from 'Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson', our current bumbling if not sinisterly incompetent prime minister.
