Scottish appeal court judges have declared that Boris Johnson’s decision to suspend parliament in the run-up to the October Brexit deadline is unlawful.
The three judges, chaired by Lord Carloway, Scotland’s most senior judge, overturned an earlier ruling that the courts did not have the powers to interfere in the prime minister’s political decision to prorogue parliament.
HereTom Watson will be livid. His latest attempt at undermining Corbyn has been bumped off the front page of the Guardian.
Am I right in thinking that Boris Johnson has ...
- Lost six votes in the House of commons
- Broken the law twice
- Been dumped by his brother
- Lost a cabinet minister
- Lost a couple of dozen MPs as a result of a particularly ill-judged show of political machismo
- Lied to the Queen
Did I miss anything?
The brazen uselessness of the Johnson administration beggars belief. I always anticipated that Johnson would be a disaster; but I was also anticipating he would have some sort of a plan and try to disguise his incompetence with shows of bon homie , 'infectious confidence' and general bluster.
I was expecting him to trounce Corbyn at PMQs and deliver lots of well received speeches, as these were the sort of things this 'acclaimed orator' would be good at, even if it was just sound and fury concealing the vacuum of his policy.
So I was expecting useless, but making a good show of being not-useless.
Instead we got useless and obviously useless.
What a difference a week makes, eh?
