Predictions for front page of the Daily Mail. Anyone

“Silly old bat witters on again”?

Boris should resign. He won’t though, will he?

 

[Dick Head]

Parliament would be in recess normally ( not prorogued )...

but this is not compulsory and they could have voted to not have a recess for the conferences.

So Parliament could have gone on as normal with speakers "popping along" to their conferences when needed to speak etc.

Also Parliamentary business goes on in recess as normal, just not debates.

Absolutely this!

If Johnson did resign, could Labour get into power with out an election?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

What we have been is the country's constitutional framework holding firm against a dangerous executive.

This isn't about Brexit, its about abuse of power.

Really the PM should now resign.....

And unbelievable stupidity.

All Boris had to do was be seen to be working flat out to get a deal, then fail, then we tumble out with no deal on Oct 31, Boris shrugs his shoulders, there is a few months of pain, then we get down to the business of making all the necessary deals (that will keep people busy for 10 years).

This is not what I wanted, but blimey it would have been easy to achieve.

Instead he agrees a bonkers plan (cooked up by his alcoholic advisor, Cummings), blunders into it, has no contingency, blusters, and falls on his face, now The Worst ever British PM (and hopefully soon the shortest lived). What a plum.

press "what do you think of this ruling that your proroguing of Parliament was unlawful"
BJ "I didn't prorogue Parliament"
press "what do you mean?"
BJ "it's not been prorogued, the MPs just haven't been bothering to turn up"
press "but you sent privvy councillors to meet the Queen who prorogued Parliament on your behalf"
BJ "oh that...that...erm....blur....that wasn't real"
press "are you okay Mr Johnson?"
BJ "....bluthering....erm...hiccup...yep...there's no press here.... right I'm off to award a grant to a girl who loves a BJ"

Trying to work out if that interview is real or not

If Johnson did resign, could Labour get into power with out an election?

Theoretically yes, if they were able to form a minority government. It would need co-operation from all of the opposition parties, so would seem very unlikely. However, if Johnson resigns as PM and an election timetable may mean falling out of the EU at the end of October, there is a small chance that they may agree to support him until an extension could be agreed and an election could follow. Swinson has suggested a government of national unity under someone else, but there is absolutley no chance that the Labour Party would support any other candidate than their leader. If they did, they would be going into an election saying 'Vote for us. We have the leader who couldn't even be trusted as a caretaker.'

Technically yes with the formation of a unity government, but it would need to pass a Commons vote.

No. Doesn't change the parliamentary arithmetic. Which currently has him about 40 shy of a majority.

Parliament is normally prorogued for conference season (or most of it, as many parties aren't in parliament, or have limited parliamentary representation). It's the extension beyond that which is unusual.

The most powerful thing Corbyn could do to improve his standing with the UK electorate is to leave his own party's conference and turn up tomorrow in Parliament. After this decision the country needs to see leadership.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

So the clamours to come back immediately, ie tomorrow, is utter bollocks as they wouldn't ordinarily be in anyway?

Parliament would be in recess so normal parliamentary business would continue. For example, Boris got out of having to answer questions to the Brexit Committee by proroguing which he would have to attend during a normal conference recess.

 

[Questions]

I was thinking maybe worms give blackbilds cancer, or seagulls too fat to fly after chip binge on Brighton seafront following climate change lesbian Muslim march litter louts . .or something.

I like all of them but I’d want benefit scroungers in there somewhere.

For that to happen a Vote of No Confidence would have to pass and then the Lib Dems and SNP would have to support Corbyn as Prime Minister which they appear reluctant to do even if it's only a temporary measure to extend Art 50 and call a referendum.

I don't think Richard Littlejohn from the Mail helped Boris's case by bragging in his column about Boris telling lies

I believe this is incorrect. You could propose a Labour minority government if the Commons voted for it. It would require the approval of the Queen though.

For the first time in 70 years Prince Charles has probably stopped hiding round corners and jumping out on mummy shouting "boooooooo".

 

[blue-shifted]

I reckon those 11 "enemies of the people" might want to avoid the morning papers tomorrow.
