Several media reports from the Court of Session getting WAAAY ahead of themselves, by suggesting Lord Doherty knocked back the substance of the challenge to the lawfulness of proroguing Westminster today. Not so. This morning, he refused only to issue an interim interdict.
Headlines like "Boris Johnson can prorogue parliament, Scottish judge rules" are extremely misleading. (Though the first instance judge may well reach this conclusion next week).
That one is from the Guardian, by the way.
And not to spare any blushes, @ScotNational is also wrong with its newsflash: "Scottish judge rules Boris Johnson CAN prorogue Parliament".
