Whoever would have thought a Tory Government led by Boris Johnson would be a disaster
Although I did, I also think that any Government led by Corbyn would be as bad if not worse.

Proves 100% why we need an elected Head of State rather than a constitutional monarch who has to agree with whatever the Prime Minister wants. Checks and balances and all that.
Good news is: at least that debate is over!

Farage is a canny ****** you've got to say. He knows now his project is done for without Boris or some other ERG nutter at no 10. He needs to set up an avenue for Boris to throw his chief adviser under the bus and try to carry on as if nothing's happened.
Farage also calculates by making this comment immediately after the judgement, he looks like the one setting the weather.

Lots of much raking about the judges involved maybe?

I think the fact that the judgement was unanimous by all eleven judges is significant, and makes the inevitable muck-raking less convincing. They're not all liberal Europhiles by any stretch of the imagination.

It wouldn't amaze me if in the light of what we've seen today, the Libs, SNP, Labour and a few moderate tories do a back room deal on this. It would make Corbyn PM, but on a VERY limited and specific basis.
Absolutely - with Johnson’s empty chair opposite. Would be very powerful.

You can have PMQ without the PM being there: David Liddington frequently stood in for Theresa May. I'm not sure who'd stand in if Johnson wasn't there though

There won't be PMQ's. The PM gets 3 days notice of the questions

They may not all be liberal Europhiles, but they will be decreed 'Enemies of the People'. Because some will imbibe any old sh!t.

This was the only decision that could be taken by the court. If the executive can suspend parliament for political reasons, then parliament is clearly not sovereign. If they can allow it for a few weeks, then they could allow it for a few years.

Corbyn does his speech later and Labour at the Commons for 1130 tomorrow

Parliament will resume tomorrow at 11:30. No PMQ's though according to speaker.
Anyone who is linking this decision to Brexit is mistaken. This linking by certain people and no doubt certain papers is precisely the reason why we cannot have the people making the decision. This is now parliament's chance to finally come to a decision re Brexit and the future of this country. They need to start tomorrow and not rise until they have decided. This is a 'national crisis' apparently, so fix it. No more pontificating, party politicking or abdicating responsibility to the people, they must do what they are paid to do and make a decision one way or another. Now.

Wildly unpredictable times. In the next week or so I'll guess we'll see ....
Johnson be massively bumbling and apologetic, will sack Cummins and try to carry on. Most likely he'll try to say he'll deliver a brexit deal and resign straight after
He'll have his tabloid attack dogs downplaying the outcome and suggesting remain conspiracies
He'll somehow have to navigate his way through next week's conference. This will be the usual shower of strongman talk on brexit and jockeying for the upcoming top job and scaremongering about Corbyn.
Oh and every book ever written on constitutional law is now out of date.
