By the court of session in scotland, which was fronted by the snp qc joanna cherry. 75 mps put their names to the challenge and one of them joins me now. You must be very happy with the judgment. What does it mean, do you think, constitutionally . It means the Prime Minister is not able to do this. We live within the rule of law. What the 11 judges found unanimously is that he worked against parliamentary democracy and had broken the law, and prorogued it for five weeks. Normally it would be five days. Is it a constitutional shift, this, or a restating of our unwritten constitution that parliament is sovereign, and it oversees the rule of the executive . Which underlines the fact that we do still at the moment live in a parliamentary democracy under the rule of law. When borisjohnson says he disagrees, i mean, he isnt in a position to disagree. Ii he disagrees, i mean, he isnt in a position to disagree. 11 independent judges in our Supreme Court, the highest court of the land, have jud

This is our day to breathe while others are open. I wouldnt be surprised if the dow was up 200 points at open. We may have have the 08 crash where it goes down 50 from the top or opportunity to buy highrisk debt which is down 20 from the peak in some indexes. There is decision going on.

Decision, how it came about. But it just never happens. Think that it probably was either a justice or injustice is relative because nobodys going to discipline them for talking to the press, but it law clerk it could really be a career ending move for a law clerk to talk to the press and give that kind of information.

So i think, tom had the reputation of a real innovator within this stuffy world of the Supreme Court and he was a good media source. So that when the blog came along i think
