    So to summarise, if these "prerogative" powers are removed and handed over to parliament, the government can't so much as fart without putting it before parliament first?

    Sounded to me like a good summary of the situation.
    The court case is all about Royal Prerogative that May believes she has, it is not confined to Brexit.

    Part of the argument this afternoon

    The government lawyer repeats his view that domestic UK rights are "susceptible to change at an EU level by exercise of government action", saying that to use a more "emotive" phrase, these rights can be "destroyed".

    He says, in theory, 99.9% of domestic rights could be removed under the UK's prerogative powers. Lord Mance takes issue with this, saying the chance of the Council of Ministers and European Commission agreeing to this is "rather remote" and that the UK would probably find itself being outvoted.

    He makes an interesting analogy, saying a distinction must be drawn about members of a club having to comply with changes in dress code and members either being expelled or giving notice of their intention to leave.

    I suppose if it is as most believe is a back door attempt to derail brexit then that will need to be protested against. We aren't there yet.

    However I suspect the judges will say yep Parliament need to vote, no they don't need to disclose strategy.

    All that's happening is that some hairdresser & other hangers on are splurging millions of pounds of our money hoping to overturn the referendum result because she thinks that she knows better.

    Brexit court case: Who is Gina Miller? - BBC News

    Ms Miller launched the Brexit legal case along with London-based Spanish hairdresser Deir Dos Santos and the People's Challenge group, set up by Grahame Pigney and backed by a crowd-funding campaign.

    Apparently he cancelled it because he likes having the support of neo Nazis, but doesn't actually enjoy their company

    Nothing to do with the fact that about twenty people would have turned up and he'd have looked even more of an utter cock than usual, no, certainly not that
