Unanimous decision that the PM “misled” (ie lied to) the sovereign.
Leaving aside the decision to prorogue, and the lying, and needing govt docs to be leaked instead of published, there’s still a fundamental question that needs answering:
If Brexit is going to be so good for the country, why can’t the Brexiters sell it on its merits? Why all the shifty back door shenanigans for something that is supposed to be for the country’s benefit?Comment

I actually do not think that it serves people well to see what is the absolutely worst thing that could happen. The worst thing that could happen to me is I could walk out of here and get run over. It is not a prediction, but it is something that could happen. And simply putting out there all of the possible permutations of what could happen actually just serves to concern people. Whereas what the government is doing is working flat out to ensure that in all circumstances, including in the event of no deal, we have a smooth transition for the United Kingdom. There is so much work underway to make sure that in all circumstances the UK will absolutely thrive once we leave the EU“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Treacherous judges. There was a longer prorogation in 1930. What's the problem?
But none of this will bother the gammons. They hate parliamentary sovereignty and the rule of law.Comment
