Unanimous

PARAGRAPH 61 OF THE JUDGMENT: "It is impossible for us to conclude on the evidence... that there was any reason - let alone a good reason - to advise Her Majesty to prorogue Parliament for five weeks."

'Unlawful, void and of no effect'

Today, the Supreme Court handed down its judgement. All 11 of the Judges were in attendance. On all counts the spoke as one and ruled against the Government.

Prorogation was unlawful.

The advice to the Queen was unlawful.

Parliament was not suspended.

End of.

You know my feelings here, I was quite emotional when Lady Hale read out the judgement. Johnson is a proven liar. All through his life, personal and professional. We should not be surprised.

In fairness, he received advice from the Lord Chancellor that it was legal.

But that was wrong.

Johnson declined to share that legal advice with the Cabinet. And that was censored in documents supplied to the courts. But the Government leaked it to Sky News this afternoon, Johnson throwing the first body under the big red bus.

As I write this, unnamed spokespeople from within the Government are briefing against the Supreme Court, accusing them of being politically motivated.

Judgement sets to stop Brexit says Government whose entire legal case, literally, rested on prorogation not being about Brexit.

They can't have it both ways, either it was or wasn't about stopping Parliamentary scrutiny, and the judgement was on legal or political grounds. But it can't be both.

If that were bad enough, the Prime Minister spoke in New York and disagreed with the judgement.

For this, and not the prorogation, he should now resign, and be forced from public life. Like a comedy character you have seen too many time, Boris is now boring, boorish and a national embarrassment.

As PM, he gave unlawful advice to the Monarch.

End of.
