I have already used the phrase the new English Civil War. That's what we have in effect; the Remainers vs the Brexiteers. We now have a situation where the Supreme Court has become political and intervened to uphold a Scottish court decision that Boris Johnson's proroguing of parliament was unlawful.
This is a strange state of affairs. The executive cannot govern, the courts interfere, parliament itself cannot decide anything and then refuses a general election. It is a complete stalemate.
Boris Johnson must now take the gloves off and use every bit of the executive power at his disposal. To begin with, start stacking the House of Lords to block any Commons legislation. Then finally, consider calling for a state of emergency, and keep that in place until Brexit has been completed.
