JOANNA Cherry has drawn plaudits from across the UK after she spoke about the Supreme Court challenge against Boris Johnson’s suspension of Parliament .
The SNP MP is a lead petitioner on the Scottish case, which is backed by more than more than 70 parliamentarians.
On appeal, the Inner House of the Court of Session in Edinburgh ruled last week that Johnson’s advice to the Queen was unlawful because it was “motivated by the improper purpose of stymying Parliament”.
Cherry, speaking to Channel 4 News, warned that the failure of the UK Supreme Court to support that view would be an “alarming moment for the British constitution”.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
