THIS week’s Supreme Court case is one of the most important legal challenges ever heard in the UK.
For the first time, all 11 judges will sit to rule on a decision that could have far-reaching constitutional and political consequences.

The battle lines have been drawn.
Let’s hope British justice…and, above all, common sense prevail.

That’s an odd switch Jon. Why exactly?
Thanks Jon, but this story is not specifically Gibraltar-related. It should be on the “main” site imho, just like all the other main Brexit stories as this story.
