Ok, which one of you is Stephen Bush? https://twitter.com/stephenkb/status/1171733062427848704 EDIT: Suspicious! He deleted the tweet. It was: "On a serious note, a lot of brainworms going about this morning. No-one in the Palace will have only just clocked that the prorogation was a political move." mediadave fucked around with this message at 11:37 on Sep 11, 2019 |

This isn't correct, the Queen hasn't acted unlawfully. The court has ruled that the PM acted unlawfully in giving false advice to the Queen, which lead to her proroguing Parliament.ROFLBOT posted:So surely the Supreme Court must take into account the Scottish ruling and not just issue a carbon-copy smack down as the English court did previously?

It's kind of demented how much of a gently caress some people seem to think she secretly gives. I guess the privacy she enjoys allows that kind of silly speculation. I think she just agrees to whatever she is advised to agree to as quickly as possible so she can get back to her gin and Bargain Hunt repeats tbh.

How does it work with the Supreme Court if what happened is illegal under Scottish law but legal under English law? This might be a conceptually nonsense question, idk.

Guavanaut posted:"May got a bad deal, Johnson can't get a deal, and No Deal is disastrous for the country. We will try to get a good deal, because we will drop May's dangerous red lines that stopped the country from getting a good deal." isn't far off the truth.
I don't think any of those except the last are in any way reasonable (or compatible with Labour's goals as I undestand them), and I'm unsure on the last one because I don't understand how EU programs are funded at a technical level. So...has Labour set out what its position be, were a Brexit deal to be renegotiated? If so, where can I read it?

Big Keir has said Parliament should start sitting again this afternoon He told the BBC: "Most people didn't believe Boris Johnson, but for the courts to find he has unlawfully shut down Parliament and that his motive wasn't the one he said it was? That's very powerful. "I call on him to recall Parliament. Let's get it back open, and sitting this afternoon and tomorrow, so we can debate what happens next and we can debate this judgement."

Bobby Deluxe posted:https://twitter.com/Peston/status/1171535732244193280?s=19 No, this makes sense. Labour seem to have consistently suggested that their ideal scenario is to negotiate a reasonably OK Brexit deal and then put it to a referendum against Remain in which they stay neutral. The whole point is that a referendum is the government asking the public to decide between two options that they are equally happy and able to enact.

Arrival chat: I found it pretty boring, but the concept led to a very interesting conversation about philosophy of religion, since it basically introduces viewers to the concept of transcendentalism. The "question" posed at the end that someone mentioned is more of an answer imo: "whether you'd live your life differently" is philosophically absurd from the transcendental perspective, since the tragedy that "will" happen has already happened, simultaneously with everything else that you will ever experience. It's all just life. PM name chat: "Johnson" is also a word for penis & so is self-evidently the superior choice imo Law chat: holy loving poo poo. Pretty sure this is the first time in history an argument based on democracy & the rule of law has been accepted, this is a big loving deal. The Supreme Court is the final court of appeal in Scottish law, so it's Scottish law they should be applying here - but since the decision will also bind what happens in the rUK, the outcome could get a bit messy. Anyone know what remedy the Court of Session ordered? No time to check, but bear in mind that 95% of what the non-legal press has to say about law stuff is bullshit. Other: haven't seen anyone call Tom Watson a oval office for a bit, so just throwing this out there: Tom Watson is a massive loving oval office.

What will actually happen to Johnson if he doesn’t recall Parliament? I’m assuming nothing. If so this this basically just a PR thing. Not that I don’t appreciate the Tories being humiliated yet again.
