Good verdict based upon many of the Brexit plans were not made clear to the electorate before the referendum. Now at least there is some form of scrutiny of what this all is.

The verdict wasn't based upon that.

Devolution govt consultation not required. Thank fk for that. Screw you Jimmy Krankie, etc

That was heartwarming.

It's interesting in so much as it sets a precedent for any future use of prerogative powers by a government. It has no bearing on Article 50 being triggered though.

The people knew what they were voting for.

I think that is highly disingenuous, yes some, many yes did have a good idea what they were getting into, but many also did not!

Sounds like you're one of the many?

Here we go again
This can only bring instability to the markets again which does none of us any good what so ever!

Predictably the SNP are to table a raft of amendments before the bill ratifying A50 goes ahead.

For example...

The UK formally leaving the EU rather than repetitive talking about how it will happen.

Oh I see, yes. It's very much a self fulfilling prophesy; "look at the markets and all the instability that the uncertainty of Brexit is causing", whilst all the while doing your best to frustrate and delay the inevitable....

I guess it must make people feel better though?

I think it is the Lords that will be the tricky part

I thought too, but apparently not. Firstly the Article 50 motion is supported by both Lords front benches so it will pass. In the event of a filibuster or wrecking amendments by atti-Brexit peers, the Govt can use the rarely used procedure of "closure" which allows debates to be curtailed and peers to go straight to a vote. This is contained in House standing orders and any member may now move "that the question now be put" and the Chair must read a set statement and the matter is "put" to a vote without further debate.

All of which apparently means the Supreme Court case was completely pointless.

They're not backing the will of the people are they? Tut tut.

There must be some people thinking that this ruling will in effect reverse the Brexit vote. There's more entertainment ahead, that's for sure.

Is it OK for me to now organise a "not in my name" march and smash up public property?

Corbyn has stated that Labour "will not frustrate the process" of invoking Art50.
