I am utterly gobsmacked. I did not see this happening - to me this act of Boris seemed iffy but perfectly “legal” in line with an unwritten constitution.

The Supreme Court says no, it was illegal. Wow.

What could be the repercussions? Well it means parliament gets back of course, but what else?

Boris Johnson’s authority is destroyed. The implication is that he lied.

But Corbyn won’t call a vote of no confidence and even if Boris calls one on himself, Labour MPs won’t vote on it.

So parliament comes back and then what? At this stage I have no idea - I think no one does.

Can they call a vote on cancelling Brexit? I think they can call it, and there is a real danger that they will get 51% votes now. That would be horrible - I was betting currency-wise on a no-deal Brexit.

Perhaps they don’t get the votes? Then what? Boris can’t do anything, parliament can’t do anything.

This is a total mad-house.

This is judicial activism at its finest. The right to prorogue parliament is a Royal Prerogative, the Supreme court had no basis in statute law to justify interfering with a decision by the government like this.
