In better news for the embattled British leader, a Belfast court rejected claims that hisBrexit strategy will harm Northern Ireland's peace process.
Opposition politicians said the “Operation Yellowhammer” document - the government's code name for its Brexit preparations - proved that Johnson is reckless to consider leaving the EU without a deal. The paper also describes major disruption for travellers between Britain and the EU, uncertainty for U.K. citizens living in Europe, and says attempts to maintain an open border between Ireland and Northern Ireland would probably fail. It also says a no-deal exit could trigger major protests and even riots.
Then on Tuesday, Johnson suspended Parliament for five weeks until Oct. 14, sparking outrage among legislators and several legal challenges. Johnson insists he suspended Parliament so that he can launch a fresh domestic agenda at a new session next month. He said he had “absolutely not” misled the queen - whose formal approval was needed to suspend Parliament - about his motives.
If the claimants appeal the ruling, the case could join two other legal challenges to Johnson's Brexit plans due to be heard at the U.K. Supreme Court next week.

U.K. court rules Johnson's suspension of Parliament unlawfulPrime Minister Boris Johnson's decision to suspend the U.K. Parliament less than two months before Britain is due to leave the European Union was unlawful, a Scottish court ruled Wednesday, although it didn't order the suspension to be overturned. Unlawful, but cannot reverse it. Opposition should have taken Harper to court when he did the same thing, four times! Proroguing Parliament four times, shutting it down for a total of 181 days. In 2008, Harper prorogued Parliament after opposition parties threatened to bring down his minority government. SO ? Now what happens a civil War ?
