The Government's last ditch effort to block our attempt to empower Parliament to act in the national interest has failed. Application for permission to appeal refused - and the end of the line for the Government.
This was a desperate application from a desperate Government. The Advocate General appeared alongside two QCs. How much public money has it wasted trying to keep Parliament in the dark?
The Government must now focus on meeting the promises made to voters in the Referendum campaign. If it cannot deliver that deal the people must be asked again - because it has no mandate to drive the country off a cliff.
You can support this case, and read our arguments to the Court of Justice, here goodlawproject.org/article-50-cas…
The Govt knows just how important is the Article 50 case. It knows cancelling the A50 notice is a safe haven for MPs faced with no deal. That's why they sent the Advocate General and two QCs. Eventually the BBC is going to have to cover it.
Some slight suggestion the Government might throw yet more public money away trying to blindfold Parliament. But I just don't see how the law permits it to.
