Nothing spoils a crisp fall morning like a supreme court ruling | Politics | The Guardian

“In the final showdown between The Incredible Sulk and The Incredible Silk there could only be one winner. This time it was personal.”
theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
“Under the circumstances it was the kindest end for a man whose legal arguments had been cobbled together from a skimmed read of Constitutional Law for Dummies. As Keen gasped his last breath, Hale kicked off her shoes and poured herself a large scotch.”

So naughty!!!
“The Sulk was running on empty. His eyes dead and his brain scrambled. He spoke but made little sense. Gibber, gibber, gibber. Like a murderer returning to the scene of a crime, he couldn’t help implicating himself. “

MPs launch bid to impeach Boris Johnson after Supreme Court rules he broke the law -

Impeachment has been considered obsolete.

In this instance I fear it is an excuse to distract from the fact that opposition MPs are not cooperating to dislodge this Gov. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
Don’t get me wrong.

I want to see justice done to this charlatan. And the rest of his Government.

But the clock is ticking too loudly. We are in grave danger. We need rid of not just Johnson.

Summary about Impeachment here

Full research briefing here.

We need sure footed strategies far more than we need to embark upon arcane procedures that can easily backfire.

If we need a GNU. Get on with it. Cooperate. See next tweet as to how to get it done.

@IanDunt Geoffrey Cox is behaving disgracefully now.

Abusing MPs who did not vote for May’s deal. “cowards”.
“No moral right to sit in this house”.
YOU and I are underserving of representation.

I thought he wasn’t doing badly.
Shame on him. How fucking dare he?
“This Parliament is a dead Parliament. It has no moral right to sit”.

Pathetic and outrageous.

He may have forgotten that we watch and he insults us, not just MPs.

This from a Government that has been found to be abusive by the Supreme Court yesterday.

Shocking.
@DavidHansonMP (Labour) is on fire & absolutely right.

A deservedly contemptuous furious response to @Geoffrey_Cox who has allowed himself to get carried away by the sound of his own booming voice.

"We live in a representative democracy," Hale said. "The House of Commons exists because the people have elected its members. The government exists because it has the confidence of the House of Commons. It has no democratic legitimacy other than that."

⬇️⬇️⬇️
That is the manner in which the British constitution is supposed to operate - on the basis of trust, high standards and a respect for the rule of law. It is that quality which allows it to be unwritten, because of its maturity and deeply-held cultural commitment to its own values
“The Johnson government has tried to break that arrangement to pieces. It has acted, under the authorship of Dominic Cummings, in a fundamentally untrustworthy way, without honour or respect for the rule of law.”

To prepare for what’s coming, see my article on Why Trump Supporters Believe [or pretend to believe] every lie he tells.

This isn’t the Nixon era. Comparisons will lead to disappointment.
1/ For more on what you can expect moving forward and from the Trump-FOX-GOP, see this thread on Trump’s “legal” defenses”



The Trump-FOX-GOP is not afraid of a trial in the Senate because they're not afraid of facts.
2/ My thread from yesterday, if you missed it: Why the House Democrats have only one shot.

They don’t want to throw it away.

There is a saying in Bengali which means the house owner starts taking precautions once the robbery is over. For last three weeks @RahulGandhi became a poster boy of #Pakistan by his immature acts on #Kashmir issue. The realization now dawns that he must change track. 1/n
It is not known what prompted #RahulGandhi 2 try visiting #Kashmir last week, knowing fully well that the #Modi government got moral/legal sanction from the Supreme Court 2 take all preventive measures 2 stop blood spill and, that Gandhi would be returned like other leaders. 2/n
One may see the shadow of #Wayanad in #RahulGandhi's desperation but, to me his acts only helped the politically irrelevant #Left to stay in news. Left has a history of opposing Congress in States while joining hands hands in d Centre. #Congress's gains were short term. 3/n

Probably. They're so bad at it it's hard to tell though tbh

It's weird, because @ljmontello's affidavit mentions the 2004 (Paragraph 6), 2007 (Paragraphs 7-8), and 2009 (Paragraph 9) conventions

She never claimed to be at Tekko 2010. Why are you lying?

That's just for starters
