Stop proroguing, tidy your room, and wash that sock, rule UK's few remaining grown ups
After spending several weeks in his room, claiming to be “revising” legislation, the PM has finally been told to put his Johnson down. “Stop proroguing this instant, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson,” Lady Hale shouted upstairs, “you are not working on your deal, and you know you are not.”
The sheepish Prime Minister has been summoned downstairs to explain himself in the kitchen. Mother Parliament has been complaining for some months about the amount of hardened socks hidden under the Government’s bed, and it has finally come time to address the matter.
--------
The decision was unanimous, with all 11 Justices supporting Lady Hale’s assessment that they were “not angry, just disappointed” by the Prime Minister’s refusal to either do his homework or ask his teachers for an extension. The few remaining grown ups in the UK have accordingly sent the children back to the drawing board.
