MPs have less time to debate and scrutinise what is being done

Boris JohnsonThe prime minister claims the suspension of Parliament was a routine decision taken in order to put forward his new legislative agenda and come back with a Queen’s speech.– meaning .Courts in England and Scotland have returned clashing rulings about whether the prorogation was legal, which means the Supreme Court must give the final judgement.

Lord Pannick added that it was a ‘remarkable feature’ of the proceedings that Mr Johnson has not provided a statement explaining why he advised the Queen to suspend Parliament for the ‘exceptionally long period’. It comes after the High Court in London dismissed Mrs Miller’s case, finding that the length of the prorogation was ‘purely political’ and not a matter for the courts.In Edinburgh, however, the Court of Session concluded Mr Johnson’s decision was unlawful because it was ‘motivated by the improper purpose’ of frustrating Parliament.

Supreme Court challenge over PM's Parliament suspension - BBC News“We are not concerned with the wider political issues which form the context for this legal issue” The UK Supreme Court begins hearing the two appeals over Parliament’s suspension, making clear the hearings are not about Brexit Don’t take all day, the answer obvious . No BBCPolitics But the whole basis of the case is about Remaining in the EU. If they wanted to leave they would have voted for a deal. Irrelevant case as it’s on the basis of one political view over another political view! If they want to change it, hold an election! simples BBCPolitics It is about Brexit though. That's the whole point. It is obvious parliament has been prorogued because of Brexit. Ignoring that means the prorogation was lawful. Oh well. Kinda guessed this would be the case, but I still thought our law worked on a case by case basis?
