"No 10 ‘plans to let ministers strike out legal rulings they disagree with’
Report increases fears government is determined to weaken judicial scrutiny
Boris Johnson is planning to let ministers throw out legal rulings they disagree with, according to a report which has increased fears that the government is determined to weaken judicial scrutiny after a series of defeats in court.
An ally of the prime minister told the Times that the judicial review and courts bill going through parliament “doesn’t go far enough” for the prime minister, who is considering an option, drawn up by the lord chancellor, Dominic Raab, and the attorney general, Suella Braverman, which would enable it to strike out findings from judicial reviews with which the government does not agree.
A judicial review is a court proceeding where a judge examines the lawfulness of an action or a decision of a public body. It looks at the way a decision has been reached, rather than the rights and wrongs of that decision, but some Conservatives have accused judges of overreach."

Should be cherry on top of the fixed with FPTP electoral system that doubles up as the executive and now will be able to override courts, the only separation of powers Tory Scum care about is with the offshores that they can't possibly have any degree of control over their money laundering.
