What now for Boris?

[gulliver1]

Who will replace Boris, now that he is on the way out ?.

[dannyk13]

Gulliver, keep up with the news, he is not resigning.

[gulliver1]

Think Gina Miller would make a good replacement , she seems to know what she is doing more than Boris does.

ANNE, Lady Hale said, "This Court has already concluded that the Prime Minister's advice to Her Majesty was unlawful, void and of no effect. This means that the Order in Council to which it led was also unlawful, void and of no effect and should be quashed. This means that when the Royal Commissioners walked into the House of Lords it was as if they walked in with A BLANK SHEET OF PAPER. (my emphasis)

The prorogation was also void and of no effect. Parliament has not been prorogued. This is the unanimous judgment of all 11 Justices."

Let Greta have a go, I want to see now big we can make the neck veins on AB bulge.

[mushroom25]

what would be the point of Boris resigning? we would then have the spectacle of a rudderless party in charge of a completely impotent government in the face of a majority opposition that won't countenance an election....

[maggiebee]

Ha ha Mozz, most on here would have a heart attack if that happened.

[dannyk13]

Mozz// I want to see now big we can make the neck veins on AB bulge.//
If that is your desire then vote for Corbyn.

[gulliver1]

Now it looks like Boris is on his way out , do you think he will give Dominic a peerage when he finally goes.

[jno]

so true, Mozz. Perhaps getting Sadiq Khan in on it too.

[ToraToraTora]

what about a Thunberg/Swinson alliance?

[jno]

sadly, gulliver, he's more likely to blame Cummings for everything and sack him.

// The sooner government can clarify the law there, the better. //

The Government's job is most certainly not to "clarify the law". That's the role of the judges, who interpret the law, and Parliament, who make the law.

[dannyk13]

Gulliver, I reiterate Boris is not resigning

[dannyk13]

jno // he's more likely to blame Cummings//
That would be good thing.

[Khandro]

Unlawful but not Illegal, - explain it to them jim

[jim360]

As someone with a first-class degree in law I'd have thought you'd be the first person to argue that the sensible thing to do is to read the judgement, JD. The judges make clear that, for the purposes of prorogation, the Queen was bound to follow the advice, and so it is the *advice* that is being ruled unlawful. Therefore the action, which is not a proceeding in Parliament, is also unlawful. I'd assume you were also aware of the 1611 Case of Proclamations, which states that "the King hath no power but that which is granted to him by the law of the land". It stands to reason, therefore, that the Queen can't do anything that is contrary to the law of the land either -- and it is up the Courts to determine that.

//Boris has broken the law, not HRH.//

Think again. Boris took advice from The Attorney General who gave legal support for a prorogation of Parliament. The UK Supreme Court(another Bliar piece of work) has declared it unlawful. Will the Attorney General now face prosecution? Or has the S.C. just implemented a new law of its own without it going through the Parliamentary process?

The people are no longer sovereign,a rotten parliament, corrupt foreign businessmen, corrupt lawyers, a corrupt UK Supreme Court and corrupt quangos, such as the Electoral Commission are sovereign. Vote in a referendum for the UK to exit the EUSSR .....ignored. Vote for a politician in the UK .. they change parties to avoid accountability. Demand a G.E...... the politicians "vote" no to thwart our intent to oust the liars....The real irony is that the UK government has no right to appeal this political sleight of hand from the SC..........except to the European Court Of Justice. A vomit inducing oxymoron that will eventually shake this establishment off its lofty perch.

How can advice be unlawful?

[Khandro]

'It’s of course a significant blow but let’s be clear – Mr Johnson won’t be resigning any time soon and whilst he maintains the support of party members, the Parliamentary Conservative party and the Cabinet, he remains the Prime Minister and leads an administration committed to leaving the European Union on October 31.

In that sense, the fundamentals haven’t changed. The Brexit mandate is bigger than even the decision of the highest court in the land.

Furthermore, believe it or not, his plan remains intact. With the possible tweak of a further prorogation to allow for the holding of the Conservative Party conference in Manchester next week, which even the Supreme Court would surely not consider to be “extreme”, a Queen's Speech the following week and a Budget thereafter, this legal imbroglio has essentially been centred on an extra week in which Parliament will now sit.'
