Sounds very much as if they are going to rule against the government.
Fingers crossed 🙂
All the UK banks have set up EU entities to keep their EU passporting. Only took a couple of years, millions of pounds for the project and billions moved to eg Ireland.
Except, the rules say you can't offer services to EU customers from outside the EU even with a passport.
It's a bit more nuanced than that but we've actually had to close some UK offices and move the work to our other EU entities. Right PITA.
So - what next for Cummings and Co...?
Hale says the court is “bound to conclude that the decision to advise her Majest to prorogue parliament was unlawful”.
YEEEESSSSSS!
Ooft. What a ruling!
Boris will of course shrug it off
Wow. Prorogation void!
And we have a speaker with no need to worry about keeping his job. The commons can sit again ASAP if MPs want it.

is that 9/9 or 8/8 now he's lost? I've lost track...
Johnson is now in a completely untenable situation. Legally bound to ask the EU for an extension, found to have acted unlawfully and with his entire strategy in tatters.
He may shrug it off but he is so damaged by this. No power left at all.
wow
So parliament back to work then?
Im fairly sure labour would like to pretend their conference never happened
Libdems have done theirs
Tory one will now be all about Johnson lying to the queen
If you're the kind of person who can get the taxpayer to pay for your mistress, then telling lies to the Queen shouldn't stand in your way.
He may decide to cling on and see what happens, but some of the followers must be swayed by this?
Maybe I'm hoping too much!
"Parliament has not been prorogued, she says.
She says it is for the Speaker to decide what happens next."
Nice to feel a bit of a winning glow. Had a feeling that it might go the way of Miller et al, but all decisions being unanimous. Wowzers. 😀
I suspect Bercow will recall parliament immediately. most tories will boycott it to go to conference, everyone else has a field day passing laws in the absence of the tories.
Fantastic result and unexpected that they went so far!
Chickens home to roost. Lovely.
A sage and onion job for BoJo.
I'm about to go to a shit meeting but this has cheered me up immensely.
I suspect Bercow will recall parliament immediately.
I can't imagine him doing anything else.
If they don't turn up will they get their wages docked or get put on a diciplinary for unauthorised absence like the rest of us would?
Would this technically count as treason? Any chance we could get BoJo and Mogg locked up in the Tower of London?
Bercow has made a statement already saying parliament will be recalled. No hanging about there then?
Unanimous decision by 11 of the most senior judges in the country. Effectively ruling that he has misled the monarch.
Even for BoJo this is pretty dire. How can he continue as PM now?
wasn't even close another 11 names to add to the "enemies of the people" list
Are we winning yet?
#TakingBackControl 😂
Bercow just now:
As the embodiment of our Parliamentary democracy, the House of Commons must convene without delay. To this end, I will now consult the party leaders as a matter of urgency."
He'll surely now get the GE he wanted and will campaign using the judges obstruction of "the will of the people".
We've been waiting 3 years for Westminster to resolve Brexit. What difference is another few weeks going to make?

your assuming that he has a shred of humility r conscience?
BJ is somewhere throwing up into to a waste paper basket whilst Cummings holds his hair back.
If Brexit is cancelled, the blame will be fired in every direction. Taritorous Remoaners, Traitorous Judges, Traitorous MPs, the Lords, The Queen.
But hopefully the Public will remember, we could have left by now, but the Tories Brexit Ultras blocked it.
If we leave or worse leave without a deal, we should remember that all the opposition parties could have forced a VONC, formed a coalition government and brought some sense to all this, but they didn't - whether you want to blame Corbyn for his inflexibility and Brexit tendancies, or the rest for not putting their differences aside in a time of crisis I don't know (the Lib Dems and Labour seem to be campaigning at the moment by bashing each other).
Even for BoJo this is pretty dire. How can he continue as PM now?
He doesn't care. He will not risgn even if he has to go to the EU and ask for the extension
I do wonder if there will now be steps taken in parliament to remove him tho.
Wow

I doubt anyone assumes that. Think it is more him being volunteered to resign which is an option. I think that is being a bit hopeful about the current tory party though.

It would require Corbynites to work with the Libs and SNP (and of course vice versa). Frankly I think they're mad going for a GE now when they can form a Goverment without doing so, but I can't see them getting along.
Bojo's warming up for a scrap with Bercow..
They will NOT go for a GE now - they will however try to remove Johnson - there is an impeachment power available I think if not one thats been used for hundreds of years.
JOhnson is now completely powerless.

I still can't understand why the Tory party members who voted him in as party leader and PM remotely thought it was a good move.

Here's hoping they saw it as a great way of getting Brexit stopped, but I fear I may be crediting them with a Machiavellian intelligence they don't possess 🙂

Alaister Campbell reckoned at the time that a lot of Tory MP's voted for Boris Johnson as leader because they absolutely despised him and knew full-well that this is how it would go. They voted to see him **** up and have to take some responsibility for the mess he caused
I'm sure they're all presently sat back, loving every minute of this. I know I am

Farage has come out saying Cummings should be sacked due to this decision. Its quite funny looking at some of the nutters on twitter not sure whether to agree with him or keep up the elite/deep state crap.
JOhnson is now completely powerless.
Although amusing to watch from the sidelines, I sadly don't really expect any good to come from this ruling
Let's hope the rats turn on each other. Cummings must be right in the firing line.
If we leave or worse leave without a deal, we should remember
Cummings will be pushed under the bus as part of the price for blowjo keeping his job.
