Expected agenda for the Inner House hearing today. We begin at 9.30 am with an application for an urgent disposal of our appeal against yesterday's Outer House decision. Then we will have a hearing of our Nobile Officium petition (our Note of Argument dropbox.com/s/owo30ou3rlh2…) 1/2
We may then move to our appeal against yesterday's Outer House decision. But - my own speculation - I wonder whether the Inner House might prefer a slight delay to our appeal to see what the Government's conduct going forward looks like. Scheduled finish at 3pm. 2/2
Here are our Grounds of Appeal against Lord Pentland's decision yesterday. dropbox.com/s/9b9z2yt7bhan…
We will also be lodging an affidavit drawing the Spectator 'Green Ink memo' to the Court's attention.

If the House of Commons were to approve a withdrawal agreement on 19 October, and there was no extension, we would have No Deal on 31 October. Here's why. THREAD.
Approving a withdrawal agreement in the Commons by 19 October is not sufficient to enable that withdrawal agreement to be ratified in Parliament or the EU. But it does mean that the PM has no obligation to apply for an extension. waitingfortax.com/2019/09/15/the…
To ratify the withdrawal agreement a number of further steps have to be taken on the UK side. If they are not taken the agreement can't be ratified.

These steps are set out in section 13 of the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018.

Back in 2016, I wrote about how Uber was running up an unpaid national insurance contributions bill of £13m a month... waitingfortax.com/2016/11/03/the…
...shortly after writing that post I met privately with a very senior HMRC officer who indicated it was not interested in pursuing the point...
In August, Uber's US accounts revealed it was (at last) in dispute with HMRC about its NICs bill.

Nothing says "patriot" like wanting our opponents to be able to interfere in our democracy, does it @Nigel_Farage? independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Yesterday - A Q movie?

1. What if Q and Q+ begin transforming Hollywood just in time for The Great Awakening?
@Tiff_FitzHenry @IPOT1776 @TheSpeaker2018 @M2Madness @Bruno062418 @2runtherace @martingeddes #Yesterday @PoliticalOrgy
2. How would they do this? Check out @3Days3Nights great “frog” thread.
3. Anyone even half awake can see the depravity in Hollywood and all it controls. Movies, TV, commercials, and pop culture have sunk to new lows in recent years.

Day 3 of the #ProrogationCase hearing at the UK Supreme Court. Previous threads can be found here (follow the nested link for Day 1): THREAD 1/
This morning, we have 4 "oral interventions". These are written statements, read out by QCs. Each written statement is read out by a different QC. Neither the Public Law Project nor Shami Chakrabati's written statements are on the timetable. 2/
First up, a "short statement" on justiciability by Mure QC on behalf of the Scottish Govt; "Court has competence to protect the constitution as much as it can protect individual rights." "Authority for closer ("anxious") scrutiny where constitutional principles at stake." 3/

Afternoon session starting on day 2 of the #ProrogationCase. My morning commentary can be found here: THREAD 1/
O'Neill QC starts with a riff on how he's the only unennobled QC present at the Supreme Court hearing. Now arguing that distance confers difference perspectives & quoting Rabbie Burns. This could be more entertaining for a lay audience if he carries on like this. 2/
Sidenote: O'Neill families historically claim descent from the Kings of Ailech. Back in the Supreme Court, more Burns quotes. Entertaining the Justices with references to 1066 & 1966 + WW2 being only dates that matter to English. He's awa doon a rabbithole with this. 3/

Gearing up for the afternoon session at the Supreme Court. This time, it's the Scottish team, also known as "the Cherry case". THREAD 1/
A thread on this morning's events can be found here: 2/
Quick summary of this morning's argument: Miller's QC ended by asked judges to consider what might happen, should they decide this prorogation was not justiciable, & a future government behaved like a dictatorship & prorogued for 6-12 months. 3/

At 10:30 today, the Supreme Court will sit *for 3 days*, with 11 Justices, on the matter of the prorogation appeals. Last time they did that was with Gina Miller's previous #Brexit case. The judiciary are wielding the big guns on this one. THREAD. 1/
Day 1: Couple of hours each for the plaintiffs in the Miller & Maugham/Cherry cases to put their arguments.
Day 2: Couple of hours each for the defendants (HMG & Advocate General, Scotland) to counter.
Day 3: "Oral interventions", 30 mins each. No Shami.
No room for waffle. 2/
For the die-hard politicos with time to spare, this is being livestreamed on supremecourt.uk/live/court-01.…. You can also read 164 pages of legal arguments from the Miller case, Maugham/Cherry case & the Government response. I'll be following the stream & posting updates. 3/
