    But I'll continue to vote confidence in him anyway.

    The Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, should resign.

    Perfectly encapsulates this parliament. Moan and complain but refuse to use the tools the constitution gave them. This parliament and half the institutions in this country has failed. Like a banana republic.

    The Supreme Court judgment exposes real failures by No 10. But I wouldn’t support a Vote of No Confidence. Focus should be on getting a deal or ensuring Article 50 extension.

    Say remainers manage to do away with Brexit - what then? They think they can go back to normal? After three years of turmoil, division & then overturning democracy? This isn't just fighting for Brexit anymore, its the fight for a future where people are respected and matter.

    What? Is this the most patronising tweet ever?

    A trio of extraordinary women have today changed the course of British politics in a fundamental way: Gina Miller, Joanna Cherry and Lady Hale. Wherever you stand on Brexit or Johnson, you’ve got to be impressed

    Only those who fear democracy would choose a court when they could have chosen the ballot box.

    MPs cannot agree a Brexit plan between them. Yet they won't let us leave without a deal; they won't move a vote of no confidence; they won't agree to an election; and they support judges ruling on what are ultimately political decisions. Was a parliament ever so discredited?

    The political importance of SC judgement is exactly this: it allows supporters of the delinquents in parliament to paint their opponents as criminals while they renege on their commitments to us. I am sorry to say we should expect a lot more of this from apologists like Jones.

    The Supreme Court ruling the government broke the law by shutting down Parliament. It’s official: we are ruled by criminals who are at war with democracy

    All these Twitterati drooling over that brooch, we now have the symbol of the Remain elite. It's a gift to Leave propaganda. And you know what normal people do to spiders in the house, right?

    Never waste an opportunity to copy the US, huh? How about we don’t do any of those things and let the next parliament abolish it instead

    If we have now abolished the Constitutional Monarchy & replaced it with a Supreme Court-ocracy, we will need proper political hearings & accountability for the justices that are our new overlords.

    Lying to the Queen???! 😱😱😱 This guy's a radical.

    The first people who should resign, even before Johnson, are the government lawyers and senior civil servants who allowed this course of action to be signed off - I don't care whether they covered their asses formally, they colluded in lying to HM Queen

    Called it

    It’s a movie we’ve seen many times on this side of the pond: under the pressure of the moment and in public eye, the justices become, in their own minds, world-historical actors who must save the constitution. Which somehow always equates to exercising ever-broader powers. …

    No, now they can call the UKSC undemocratic too

    It seems to me voting down the 'liberal establishment' in the forthcoming general election is now the only political cause left in Britain-as the elite huddle together in antidemocratic alliance of Gravy Train season ticket holders playing fast & loose with our hard won democracy

    Will our gracious Lords, Baronesses and Masters now allow us to have a general election, or do they intend to sit in perpetuity?

    No, we're just catching up with the US - years and years of key political decisions will now be made by our new unelected rulers. What a time to be alive.

    Good morning, America. Britain's democracy is at least five hours ahead of you today.

    Strange times. I agree with Nigel.

    The calling of a Queen's Speech and prorogation is the worst political decision ever. Dominic Cummings must go.

    It is the same unelected elite in a different form tightening their grip - and the harder they squeeze, the more likely things are to burst

    This is the country's constitutional framework holding firm against a dangerous executive. It is a powerful and genuinely marvellous thing to witness.

    Of course, there is a simple way of getting round all this. A general election. But remainers, who have the power to give us one, won’t. Because they fear the public disagree with them, and know that when it comes, it will undo all their work.
