Brexit - or Article 50: the Phoenix!

[Deleted member 1418]

Absolutely right, they voted to stay. Oh hang on a minute arn't the SNP keen on setting the example that The Peoples Vote counts for nothing.

Yes they are, but to be fair not as much as the Lib Dems!! 😉 Not sure what Labour wants at the moment - suppose it depends on what day it is; and which one of the shadow cabinet is spouting off in the press/media!! In fact I'm not entirely sure who is actually leading Labour - Corbyn, Watson, Starmer! 🤔😥

Neither, Momentum and the Unions.

So it's currently 1-1 in court cases re. prorogation and the penalty shoot out to decide the winner is next week at the Supreme Court.

Suppose it will keep all the pundits busy for the next week or so and in the meantime lets both sides quote the court case result they like to claim they've won...

I had to laugh at the idiot mp’s demanding parliament is recalled immediately.
Don’t remember them wanting to cancel their summer holidays to debate brexit

The case of Attlee proroguing parliament to get legislation past the Lords is being cited by the High Court as proof that even if Boris prorogued for political reasons, it wouldn't be unlawful

And Major.

Bit tricky to define the electorate eligible to vote in a referendum for England to leave the UK?

And as it would be England leaving the UK - an English parliament would have to be set up somewhere as Westminster would remain the UK parliament building.

I nominate Swindon or Sunderland .. (also it has to be a Leave constituency as all the English apparently want to leave)

Dartmoor, they can shout and we won't hear and quite often the mist will mean we won't see the silly beggars either - the accommodation is also pretty relevant!

Government have only released 5 pages and renamed it from "Base Scenario" to "Reasonable worst case"

Strange, little coverage of the High Court decision yet the news is full of the Scottish decision.

 

[Deleted member 1147]

According to the news the Scottish court is an appeals court & is therefore higher up the scale than the high court. So I think the high court ruling is superceeded and the next step is the UK appeals court.

Could have misunderstood however 🤷🏻‍♂️

It was written at the start of August a few days after Boris became PM and its very relevant

No it wasn’t.

We have plans in place for medicine to be express freighted which was signed off in April.
Without looking I’d imagine similar plans are in place for food and other essentials.
It’s just a paper outlining scenarios of which the government is preparing for/or has plans in place.

Just another red bus for the remainers to ride on.
