The UK Attorney General, Geoffrey Cox QC MP, gave a rip-roaring display at the resumption of sitting in the House of Commons, calling the current Parliament “dead”.
The UK Supreme Court has ruled that Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s prorogation of Parliament for five weeks was unlawful and is therefore not in effect.
It has been announced in the last hour that Parliament prorogues at the close of business today. With all the talk of political gridlock, to shut down Parliament today must mean Boris Johnson has a plan.
