The latest news from the UK relates to the topic of Brexit and concerns the Yellowhammer document and the Scottish High Court ruling on the illegality of the decision of Boris Johnson and the propaganda of Parliament. The first issue has already been discussed, moreover, it was more or less clear that the "hard" Brexit will not bring the country anything good, and the document "Yellowhammer", published on the government website, at the request of parliamentarians, only proved it. At the same time, Boris Johnson's cabinet refused to publish all correspondence of politicians involved in the discussion of the "hard" Brexit cabinet. What immediately provoked a new batch of criticism from the opposition, who suspected the Prime Minister of concealing much more important information than the one that was published. The second question concerning the decision of the court of Scotland is more interesting. Since, firstly, the work of parliament can be resumed in the near future, it remains only to obtain a decision of the Supreme Court, which will consider the case on September 18. And secondly, there are growing suspicions that Boris Johnson lied to Queen Elizabeth II when he said that the suspension of parliament is only necessary to prepare a new government program. The main point of this story is that the more British citizens will be disappointed with Johnson's actions, the less chance he and his party will win the re-election to the Parliament, which the Prime Minister himself has already tried to initiate twice. And the opposition's actions are clear and understandable – to expose Boris Johnson in the most unfavorable light possible, especially since many of his actions do not even need to artificially give a "gray" color. Why, in fact, Johnson had a vacation for the deputies, obviously.
