There was a time when newspapers reported news. Nowadays they report opinion, speculation, untruths (if not downright lies) as news. The Mail's story is lifted from the Telegraph, which said:

Legal commentators and experts had believed the court comprised overwhelmingly pro-Remain judges, with some expecting the Government would lose by a margin of 10 to one.

However, government lawyers in the courtroom now believe the margin is actually much narrower. One source said: “It is difficult to predict how the case is going to go but the thinking of those in the room is that there might be a sizeable minority who are with the Government


So the story is based on what is thought to be the judges' political views and that they will not be objective. Another attack on the independence of judges. It's absurd and disgraceful.
Indeed.

Having read a couple of judgements from the Supreme Court they both seem to be from the view point of a single judge. I doubt there will be any difference in this case. A final decision will be yay or nay and the logic explained.

TBH I don't really care to much about the case, it was more the FMs points regarding MSM I was indeeding. However, your post also warrants a well earnt, "indeed" to.
