JOANNA Cherry has warned the Attorney General that he is "being offered up as a fall guy for the PM's botched plans".

After the Supreme Court yesterday ruled that the Government's five-week prorogation of Parliament was unlawful, a document was leaked to Sky News showing Geoffrey Cox had advised the PM that it was legal to do so beforehand.

An unredacted version of a document seen by the Supreme Court showed Cox told Cabinet that Boris Johnson's advice to the Queen on prorogation was "lawful and within the constitution".

MPs have now returned to Westminster as the prorogation, intended to last until October 14, was ruled null and void.

SNP MP Cherry was the first MP to question the Attorney General over yesterday's events. She asked for the legal advice given to Johnson to be released publicly.

After receiving a statement from Cox over the court's ruling, Cherry said: "Mr Speaker yesterday was a very special day for Scots law and the Scottish legal tradition going back to the Declaration of Arbroath that the Government is not above the law.

"Following in the footsteps of Scotland's Supreme Court the UK Supreme Court asserted the rule of law the separation of powers and they restored democracy.

"And it's worth emphasising that their decision was unanimous as was the decision of Scotland's Supreme Court.

"But the question Mr Speaker I'm interested in is how did it come to pass that this was ever allowed to happen?"

Cherry then brought up the unredacted documents which "mysteriously" found their way to Sky News yesterday.

"I'm sure knowing him that his advice was considerably more detailed and nuanced than the three sentences that appear in that unredacted document," she continued.

The National:

"Can he tell us whether a legal opinion was made available to the Prime Minister or the Cabinet?"

The MP added Amber Rudd said yesterday that Cabinet ministers hadn't been shown legal advice.

She continued: "The Attorney General [pictured above] is being offered up as a fall guy for the PM's botched plans."

Today there will be a series of statements from ministers.

We can expect a Thomas Cook update from Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, Operation Yellowhammer information from Michael Gove, an Iran update from the Foreign Secretary, a general update to Parliament from Johnson and a business statement from leader of the House Jacob Rees-Mogg.
