What beats me is why the PM decided to appeal anyway, it was always a certainty what the result would be.
As the BBC has just pointed out all this has done is waste 82 days
( and £100,000's ) that could have been used for the parliamentary debate. This could all be over now and A50 triggered, if May had just done what the original court ruling told her!
This further reinforces my contention that our PM is either incompetent or has been intentionally 'set up to fail' at getting A50 through parliment.
