Trump suggests impeachment proceedings could benefit him in 2020.

"If [Pelosi] does that, they all say that's a positive for me in the election," he said. "You could also say who needs it. It's bad for the country.”

Good morning from the @UKSupremeCourt. Lady Hale is expected to deliver a summary of the court’s judgment in the Miller/Cherry prorogation appeals at 1030. This will be live-streamed and televised. I’m in the court media room and plan to live-tweet (threaded) what’s said in court
The oral summary of the judgment normally lasts for only a few minutes. Written copies of the full judgment will then be posted online. There are no advance copies for the media (or, we are told, the parties) so the first anyone knows the result will be when Lady Hale gives it.
If the court is divided then a simple majority will decide the case. In that event, I would expect Lady Hale to tell us which of the judges are in the majority and which are in the minority. There can be no further appeal.

And we've started. First up, James Woolfe QC. He's the Scottish government's Lord Advocate - that's its top legal adviser. He's got 30 minutes to make an intervention on its behalf.
Typo. James Wolffe QC, with a double f. Apols.
Mr Wolffe is arguing that the court needs to "calibrate" its approach to holding ministers to account in relation to the importance of the issue before them. The more serious the issue, the more important it is that courts looks into it.

Lord Pannick has been covering the anticipated attack from the PM's team that the High Court can't rule one way or another. This is a legal concept with an almost unpronounceable name - "justiciability". Sometimes judges rule a case is not "justiciable"
Takes a bit of explaining: Some actions by ministers are in a grey area between high policy and law. An example would be granting a pardon to a convicted criminal (including after execution in the old days) or how ministers should conduct international relations.
The courts are often wary to tread into this area because it may tie the hands of the government in an area where ministers need a wide degree of discretion about how to approach a problem. So sometimes these cases are ruled to be not justiciable.
