Supreme court prorogation hearing verdict.

[Old Greg]

Not me, I can assure you. I'm only questioning the point of Parliament rushing to recall itself, when it will achieve precisely nothing.

How do you know what it will achieve?

It's not recalling itself. The Supreme Court ruled that it was never prorogued in the first place. So Parliament never ceased to be in session, and they need to get back to work.

Precedent.

Precedent is not a good way of deciding that you know what the future holds. There was no precedent for the first time parliament took the sensible step of legislating with retrosoective effect against aggressive tax avoiders. But it still happened.

In Daily Wail terms - it was an illegal ciggy break.
