I will not abuse anything. The Supreme Court in Britain has ruled unanimously that the UK Parliament is sovereign and that not only was the prorogation unlawful, it was null and void ab initio.Accordingly, the UK Parliament will resume tomorrow at 11.30 a.m. Hopefully, this will result in a satisfactory agreement by 14 October, which is the date by which one has to be achieved. Alternatively, the UK Government will have to seek an extension in line with the Parliament's decision, which was opposed to a no-deal Brexit.
