This is the only one I know. Parody.

Tut tut Meds, you missed an open goal there!...

I bet ?real Ken Clarke? follows it though. Wouldn?t it brilliant if he was parodying himself 😀

BJ making an absolute tit of himself and by association the country. Jeremy Corbyn not doing much better by calling for a general election he doesn?t stand a chance of winning, in fact nobody does. I don?t like living through these interesting times.

[diable rouge]

He said there would be no more talks unless the EU agreed to remove the backstop, true to form he's already backtracked on that particular pledge...

[malumbu]

UK to reject high speed rail (damned continental idea) and with the reopening of the pits move back to steam power. Gunboat diplomacy next. Hopefully there there is also dynamite strategically placed in the Channel Tunnel too.

Wow, this is HUGE... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49493632

[Alan Medic]

It is. But what happens next?

[diable rouge]

I'm guessing Corbyn's cross party meeting yesterday deciding to go down the legislative route to stop No Deal rather than the oft presumed VONC route straight after recess, spooked Johnson's junta into action. They want a VONC so they can play the People v MPs election card if they lose it.

By proroguing parliament for 5 weeks it severely limits the time to get legislation through before the next recess and not enough time after the Queen's Speech. However, they may have hit the prorogue button in haste according to this tweet...

Proroguing now would be a bit futile, since under s3 of the Northern Ireland Executive Formation Act 2019, if Parliament is prorogued by 4 September then it must be recalled within 5 days, for 5 days.

Even without my Remainy McRemain hat on, I would always back Grieve to outsmart Cummings when it comes to parliamentary procedure in the battle of the Doms...

IRS disgusting . Even more ridiculous that mps are on a summer recess then I read another one due due to conference season . How often do we read all police leave cancelled if there is a more emergency. Surely the same for mps?

Boris is proroguing parliament at this moment

There goes Stirling

I think he has just shot himself in both feet

[Sephiroth]

Picked a bad day to change my holiday money

[peckman]

Same here ! I hope you dont fly on 1st November

[diable rouge]

This is quite the statement from the Speaker, only good news for the Rebel Alliance.

Speaker John Bercow: ?I have had no contact from the Government, but if the reports that it is seeking to prorogue Parliament are confirmed, this move represents a constitutional outrage.?

Hope they stick to the legislative route in Sept, if it looks like failing due to time constraints they can always press the nuclear VONC later...

[Brulysses]

Do not prorogue Parliament petition:

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/269157

up to 85,000 as I write this.

Thanks for that Brulysses.90,652 and rising

[peckman]

When would the debate happen though ? I really think this decision from boris will actually stop brexit .. ha ha ...

[Loutwo]

Brexit is now far less likely than ever before. I wonder if Boris has done this on purpose to create a Pinscher movement from the lagging remainers, so he can point fingers when Brexit doesn?t happen, call a GE, galvanise support to win a majority, and walk away from the whole Brexit debacle scott free.

Or something like that.

I've considered this many times.

[nxjen]

Seems ironic that democracy is suspended to enable democracy ?the will of the people?. Clearly a selective democracy.

[JohnL]

What is the point of a head of state that does nothing.

Straight home tonight or I'll be arguing all night the foul mood Boris has put me in :)

[intexasatthe moment]

Absolutely what Louisa and Nxjen have said .
