EDIT to add the post title is “Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock were unlawful” however

All the claims except one were found to be nonsense, the one found to be true? At the start of a pandemic they didn’t take fully into account diversity rules (and that one wasn’t brought forward by ‘the good law project’)
Firstly, the headline is simply factually untrue and the GLP should withdraw it.
Secondly, the broader reality is that they lost, and lost so hard it could seriously impact future cases they want to bring.
All their claims were rejected, including the “cronyism” claim.
Another organisation succeeded on one claim only, that diversity was not properly considered during the recruitment process, that’s it. Hardly the killer blow the GLP is making it out to be today.
Another questionnaire for BoJos lawyers to fill out for him!
And? what the fuck they gonna do? arrest them?
Good luck with that one.
Why they even bother investigating this shit anymore is beyond me. These cunts could go on live TV, call the entire populace of the country drooling morons, and people would still clap and vote for them.
Of course they were. Dildo Harding should be unemployable by this point.
I commit a crime and I’m labelled a criminal. A Tory commits a crime and they’re labelled ‘unlawful’.
Fuck off.
This headline is misinformation. The process by which the appointments were made was found to not comply with equality rules.

Next on the news at ten – it gets dark at night.
More revelations to follow.
Becoming a bit of a pattern with this lot isn’t it..
They don’t give a toss for the law, they have proven this in the last few years.
Laws are for the little people.
For some reason that doesn’t link to the actual judgement document.
