From the Three Knights Opinion to the CJEU ruling on Article 50 – A long year’s journey into light.
Almost exactly a year ago the germ of an idea started to develop at The People’s Challenge, based on the High Court decision in the Miller case and the work our legal team had done for the Supreme Court defence … Continue reading
Referendums should be held when the electorate are in the best possible position to make a judgment. David Davis Nov 2002
