DOMINIC GRIEVE SPEAKS UP FOR THE JUDGES

Dominic Grieve, the former Attorney General and a man who fearlessly speaks his mind, has written a piece in the Staggers (HERE).

He says:

Our membership of the EU is underpinned by statute law. Brexiters may dislike the fact that this ever happened, but this was sanctioned by the sovereign will of Parliament when it enacted the European Communities Act in 1972. It is for Parliament to undo it and even if the government had won the case it could not carry out its task without parliamentary support.

And also:

This episode illustrates the fact that the growing violence of language and paranoia that now seems to characterise so much of the discourse of supporters of Brexit has other roots. It is difficult to escape the conclusion that its prevalence is a reflection of the insecurity which is inherent when a referendum victory is in part based, to the knowledge of some of the victors, on a prospectus supported by deliberate untruths.

The shadow Brexit Secretary, Keir Starmer, a former DPP has spoke up for the judges (HERE).
