WARNING! INTRUDERS DETECTED

I'm not from the tradition of UK jurisprudence but generally for breaking a law to result in a penalty you have to specify a penalty in the law somewhere.

I doubt there is a law that says proroguing parliament unlawfully (or some other act that can be interpreted to have taken place, like giving unlawful advice to the Sovereign) carries a penalty of drawing and quartering.

In these situations the typical remedy is declaring the unlawful act null and void, and that is what the SCOTUK did here.

By the way, loving that they gave the judgement today so that it ruined both Tom Watson's conference speech and the Tory conference.

boris wants to be trump but boris has a functional psyche - he can't delude himself like trump can. this makes him a more savvy operator and a far better politician but means he does feel shame - he evaluates his self worth based on the reaction of his peers, not on fantasy. this sucks for him just as much as it sucked for may and i couldn't be happier for it.
Johnson has it worse than May - she could always think of it religiously as a thing to endure, but what does Johnson have? No test from God, just himself and his own actions, the end result of failsonning himself into the highest position in the country

IANAL but it's something not explicitly prohibited by a specific law (i.e. illegal) but definitely loving dodgy.

It’s just something that is not lawful. Going back to my last post, breaking a contract is technically unlawful but not normally criminal.

robbing a bank is illegal, operating a illicit banking organization that routinely and systemically robs their customers may be unlawful and have an associated fine.

I was already happy when it looked like Corbs had forced Watson to swap speech slots but this, this is just :discourse:

Once again, extremely good shout from Joris to help Labour reduce their internal divisions to a single tiny paragraph on Page 38.

The Queen is carefully protected in the ruling, it basically states she is customarily bound to rubber stamp proroguement so it's not her fault

Johnson will face calls from all sides to resign, he'll try to offer Cummings instead, but nobody's going to take that

The Queen's soul must return to the mace as sacrifice.

As for Johnson, he's going to probably try and cling on until an election can be called, or if whatever shenanigans he tries to crash Britain out with a no deal backfire. Again.

These fuckers don't have the faintest idea of how the law actually works cos they've not read it. They sure think they know how it's supposed to work - protect priviledge at all costs - and one by one they're all getting publicly rinsed.
