Those - who were arguing recently that no-deal Brexit would “give back control” to British courts and a British parliament - have u-turned and are now suddenly against our courts, parliament, parliamentary sovereignty and constitution.

Yes, and some of them will no doubt already be considering how they can change our whole judicial system, as a result. Politically, we are living in dangerous times!

The right-wing populists are deliberately and cynically pitching the people against the lawful institutions that we rely on, which have served us well for centuries and which are, still, the envy of the free world. History has taught us that we should never walk down this path.

Johnson tried to throw Parliament under a bus. He failed. And now he is trying the same with judges. And he will fail again.

We will soon awake and remember who we are. And when we do, those who did this, and those who helped them, will hang their heads in shame.

Cummings is screaming blue murder, and some government cabinet members are suggesting that the Supreme Court is wrong.

We are a civilised country based on the rule of law, the foundation of which keeps this country from anarchy.

These people must be prevented from destabilising our country.
