A ‘TOTAL DISGRACE’

MP Ian Murray, one of the Court of Session petitioners, last night branded Johnson a serial liar.

He said: “He has constantly lied to the public, Parliament and his own party to get his way and it has finally caught up with him.

“There is only so many times you can lie before those lies catch up with you.

“We should celebrate and cherish the part of our system that allows members of the public to go to the courts to hold a Government that is acting unlawfully to account. The Prime Minister was trying to shut down MPs in order to deliver a no-deal Brexit that nobody voted for.

“At the end of all of this, there is only one conclusion – Boris Johnson should resign as Prime Minister in total embarrassment and disgrace.

“This gives us a real opportunity to get a majority in Parliament for a People’s Vote with the option to remain, so we can put a stop to this Brexit madness before it is all too late.”
