Lord Judge making ASTONISHING speech in @HouseofLords about subverting #RuleofLaw! It is our shield against AUTHORITARIANISM

@JMPSimor @ConUnit_UCL @BethRigby
In 1610 phrase #RuleofaLaw used to tell an overwening King seeking to exercise excessive power. Overweening Exec!
Not alone in finding it offensive! Being asked to allow Exec ti break the law DELIBERATELY & KNOWINGLY!
NEVER YET found an occasion where Parliament has been invited to agree that a minister should be entitled to break the law!
Part 5 - in entirety, not just Clause 47 which is pernicious!!
Differetiating International Law from domestic law is "SPIN" & "ABSURD"! "#RuleofLaw is indivisible". "Not a shred of evidence" against EU...worse than Henry VIII powers..= "DANGEROUS LEGISLATION"!
"Not In My Name"! Wow!!
Thank you Lord Judge!!

Baroness Haytor says PM has managed to have angered:
Lawyers
Devolved Authorities
The EU
His own backbenchers
The Church
& majority of @UKHouseofLords
She reminds PM of @BarackObama's words to Trump! to remember that they are just "temporary occupants of this office". "That makes us guardians of those democratic institutions and traditions — like #Ruleoflaw, separation of powers, equal protection and civil liberties...
Regardless of the push and pull of daily politics, it's up to us to leave those instruments of our democracy at least as strong as we found them."
WOW👍 Baroness Haytor #InternalMarketBill debate! ❤

@commonslibrary 14/9/20 CLEAR #IMB BRIEF:

"A party may NOT invoke the provisions of internal law as justification for its failure to perform a treaty"

"existence of the power to override a number of the UK's obligations may itself constitute a violation of international law"
@BinghamCentre on #InternalMarketBill
▪The Bill DELIBERATELY breaches #InternationalLaw
▪Passing the Bill will put UK in IMMEDIATE breach of WA
▪Introducing such a Bill is a breach of the Ministerial Code
