    When I challenged the Attorney General on what she has done to defend the rule of law in the face of the Govt’s intention to break international law she retaliated to calling me ‘emotional’. Disappointed to receive personal attacks for trying to defend the rule of law.

    Yesterday produced this excellent essay on "Government by decree". Today the government will announce spending measures which it will introduce under emergency legislation without a parliamentary vote, & has cancelled the Budget which parliament vote on.

    Those in government who believe they can keep deflecting the blame on Brexit would do well to remember the Poll Tax The scheme of the Poll Tax was to get voters to blame high-spending local councils for the high charges But voters blamed the government who brought it in instead

    Just imagine if anyone had suggested in 2016 we would end up with legal recognition for Kent border, with police powers of coercion to enforce it in respect of trade, Brexiters would have *howled* But on a rainy Wednesday afternoon that is what the government has just announced
