Lord Carloway: "The true reason for the prorogation...[was] to stymie parliamentary scrutiny of the executive, which was a central pillar of the good governance principle enshrined in the constitution; this followed from the principles of democracy and the rule of law."


Let’s make no bones about this, these are some of the highest and most distinguished judges in Britain essentially calling the PM, his team and cabinet ministers liars- and saying they lied to the Queen.


This is bad for the Palace. The Queen relies on the sound and honest counsel from her prime minister not to put her in a position where she is acting a) politically b) controversially c) unlawfully. PM had already failed on A and B. C is a real kicker. Imagine they’re furious.
