Boris Johnson could suspend parliament again if he loses Supreme Court ruling, Dominic Raab indicates

If the experts know a bit more than Michael Gove would have us believe, the next staging post on the road to hell is imminent.

It isn’t clear when the Supreme Court will rule on Boris Johnson’s muting of parliament. As some previous Supremes under the leadership of chief justice Diana Ross almost put it, they just keep us hangin’ on.

But they can’t keep us hangin’ on forever. Within the next few days, possibly on Monday, the 11 justices will rule on the legality or otherwise of the Johnson-Cummings prorogation.
