Brexitwatch; Get back to the Commons! Write to your MP
Now Scotland's highest civil court has declared that Boris Johnson's silencing of parliament is illegal, MPs should be flooding back, occupying the House of Commons chamber, and continuing with the business of fighting the Brexit Coup.
Email your MP to demand they get back there. This is what I've sent to mine - Labour's Brexit spokesperson, Sir Keir Starmer:
Dear Sir Keir,
What are you waiting for? The courts have ruled that Boris Johnson’s suspension of parliament is illegal.
The Court of Session, Scotland’s highest court, has delivered a damning verdict, with all three judges ruling that the suspension was 'motivated by the improper purpose of stymying parliament' and was therefore unlawful.
Heaven knows what Messrs Johnson and Cummings had planned for when they'd got MPs out of the way.
You and your Labour colleagues need to get down to Westminster right now and get into the Chamber to work out what you can do to stop the Brexit Coup. Elect your own Speaker if necessary.
At the moment there is still time to stop Boris Johnson destroying British democracy, but if you pussyfoot around much longer, there won't be.
Yours sincerely,
John Withington
