UK: Proroguing of parliament to go ahead after High Court dismisses legal

campaigner Gina Miller's case. Follows dismissal of similar case in Scottish

court on Wednesday.

- Supreme court will hear appeal on Tuesday 17th Sep. Should appeal be

successful parliament would be recalled. 

- Case still going through Northern Ireland court relating to threat to Good

Friday Agreement from prorogation. 

- At present, parliament will be prorogued by Thursday 12th Sep at the latest.

- After the passage of the Bill forcing extension of Art. 50 W/O deal,

proroguing could in fact prove a blow to Johnson. 

- With parliament not sitting until October 14, the government will lose the

opportunity to seek to call snap general election as vote among MPs required to

approve the motion.
