Holy poo poo guys, this is what happens when you don’t submit proper evidence.

God knows what happens next but they certainly made this season of Brexit Britain entertaining (even though we are all going over a cliff together still, probably).

I'm sure the Tories are very glad they treated Bercow with such disrespect and now he has incredible power to potentially shaft them :laugh:

I wasn't at all optimistic about how this would go but even in my most optimistic flights of fancy I didn't think it would go this well lmao

Yeah from that

It is impossible for us to conclude, on the evidence which has been put before
us, that there was any reason - let alone a good reason - to advise Her Majesty to
prorogue Parliament for five weeks, from 9th or 12th September until 14th October.
We cannot speculate, in the absence of further evidence, upon what such reasons
might have been. It follows that the decision was unlawful.

So bojo intentionally misleading or deliberately frustrating parliament has been punted as irrelevant in deciding the lawfulness of pororogation

Corbyn's closing speech is tomorrow at Labour Conference, so hopefully he can teleport.

Either way it'll be interesting though.

Probably just the usual "enemy of the people" veiled death threats in the papers, with the outright calls to institute a genocidal totalitarian dictatorship staying in Internet comment sections.
