the Supreme Court judges are to decide whether to declare Boris Johnson’s prorogation of Parliament as illegal. If he is ‘found guilty’, then Parliament could be reconvened almost immediately and the fight against no-deal given more time to pass laws. Johnson could well go and ask the Queen for another prorogation if he loses, in which case everything gets really feisty.
Gerry wants Johnson to be defeated but isn’t sure about the role of judges in the political sphere…
