TBH this isn't the worst result. At the end of the day the clock has been run down and nothing in the judgment prevents the govt from proroging parliament again.
The curve ball here is that Parliament has now become the defacto executive. So fuck knows what could happen.
Also can we get a reality check on this whole "advisory" ref. A ref is not binding because only parliament can bind itself. Parliament overwhelmingly voted to trigger A50 - what was it? Like 90%? Parties went into the GE with manifestos saying they'd implement Brexit. Yes you can reassess. Yes you can put it back to the people etc. But inferring some sort of illegitimacy because it was advisory is just fucking double-speak.
