LEGAL CHALLENGE LATEST

The Supreme Court sits next week to hear the government's appeal against the divisional court's findings October. There is an update on the People's Challenge website (HERE) and it seems god news. The government has "doubled down" and is not really present any new arguments but it remains to be seen what happens.

Meanwhile one legal expert thinks the government might lose 11-0 in the Supreme Court (HERE).

And in a note at the end of the update, lawyers acting for Gina Miller says the government is also likely to lose any legal challenge to the fact they don't intend to trigger Article 127 of the EEA Agreement and believe that leaving the EU automatically means we leave the EEA. If they're wrong and parliament is involved, they may not be able to get a majority to take us out of the single market.

What a mess it all is.
