Former Tory MP for Harborough is acting for John Major

Sir John Major, reports the Guardian has said he will seek the high court’s permission to join the case brought by the anti-Brexit campaigner Gina Miller.

It aims to prevent Boris Johnson proroguing parliament from next week until mid-October.

And who is acting for the former prime minister?

Step forward Lord Garnier, who as Edward Garnier was Conservative MP for Harborough from 1992 to 2017.

Oh yes.
