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...

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...

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.

    • As well as the above, has anyone else noticed the massive amounts of gum being spat out all over as well as marking pavements? This is not only disgusting as gum will be laced with human germs and saliva but also places a large cleaning cost on already stretched services. Why do humans insist on spitting out gum onto the pavements? Why can't they dispose of it in a bin or take it home?
    • I think it’s often a lack of attention. I’ve seen owners a few times around the area and in the park not pick up and it’s been because they’re not paying attention to their dog(s) - distracted by their children/friend/phone - and their dog is behind them off lead and has quickly squeezed one out unseen. Obviously I point it out to the owner. The other gripe is that even if mess is picked up, it often leaves marks and streaks on the pavement that you equally wish to avoid stepping in. Better than a big chunky stool but still very annoying and can get in your shoe. 
    • Thank you for the kind comments see u after the weekend
