Brexit.

[Gabriel_Hurl]

Boris Johnson's decision to suspend Parliament was unlawful, the Supreme Court has ruled.

Mr Johnson suspended - or prorogued - Parliament for five weeks earlier this month, saying it was to allow a Queen's Speech to outline his new policies.

But the UK's highest court said it was wrong to stop Parliament carrying out its duties.

The court's president, Lady Hale, said: "The effect on the fundamentals of our democracy was extreme."

Johnson should resign but won't but this ruling has to be massively damaging

Take that Bozo!!

Agree, but he won't, UK politics is mental.

The Brexiteers don't want to be subject to EU laws and now are getting a taste of UK laws. And Arlene told us it was perfectly lawful to prorogue parliament. Time to sit in the dunces corner, DUP.

[Farrandeelin]

Could he appeal to the ECJ? 

On a more serious note what next?

Probably well down the list of embarrassing things for the DUP recently being honest.

Agreed. And now she has the gall to say the supreme court must be respected when she was instrumental in the law being broken and lying to their beloved Queen.

The DUP are genius to be honest, they have successfully numbed me to feel nothing no matter how ridiculous and hypocritical they can be.

[imtommygunn]

It isn't like they believe a word that comes out of their mouths either.

My prediction- Cummings will be the fall guy for this. Bojo is as shameful/shameless as Foster.

Nigel F wants Cummings to go, no mention of Boris.

That renowned JOE originality and wit.

Agreed. And now she has the gall to say the supreme court must be respected when she was instrumental in the law being broken and lying to their beloved Queen.

This morning Jeffrey Donaldson said the Irish Government should apologize because Supreme Court refused to extradite Patrick Ryan. Within hours Arlene tweets:

"We have always respected the principle of the separation of powers upon which our constitutional law is founded. Therefore the judgement of the Supreme Court has to be respected."

I guess such separation of powers doesn't exist in the Republic?  I know we are accustomed to partisan views in just about anything in Northern Ireland but surely some sense of irony is left buried deep inside these people?

This decision doesn't right at all, surely the government can appeal to European Supreme Court?
