It is actually happening.
By 5pm tomorrow Johnson should be Prime Minister, if nothing major goes wrong for him.
Phillip Hammond is expected to resign early in the morning. And there maybe others.
Parliament goes into recess on Thursday. Giving Johnson only enough time to announce a Cabinet and maybe give a brief statement in Parliament.
As it stands Johnson will have an effective majority of 1 if the Brecon by-election goes the way expected next week.
Unless someone else defects. Which isn't beyond the realms of possibility.
We also have Charlie Elphicke now suspended and facing a court appearance on 6th September, just 3 days after Parliament returns after the summer recess.
Remember when parliament returns Johnson must get a Queen's Speech vote to pass to start the new session.
The return of Parliament is 8 weeks before 31st October.
If Johnson can't pass a Queen's Speech... Is there time for a GE before 31st October? By the skin of our teeth? Or a crucial recall petition?
So for all the talk that parliament can we prevented from being prorogued or that we can get a deal by the 31st October, there is a GE shaped problem.
As for Johnson's plan for Brexit. Don't expect to see him say anything but waffly bollocks before that key Queens Speech vote. He can't. Instead expect lots of domestic promises - in part to distract, in part in prep for a possible snap election.
Of course to have an extension the Prime Minister needs to ask for it. Would a GE be enough to get one? And would we be granted one?
On the flip to that is the prospect of May's Deal. Much has been made of its death. But some have said its premature to say that. At the eleventh hour should the situation arise would parliament vote for it, backstop and all, to prevent no deal? Its not beyond the realms of possibility.
All the talk of Johnson driving a change of direction by the force of personality is nonsense. Johnson can use his personality domestically for support, but he his personality offers nothing to the EU.
On top of this all we have the Iran Oil Tanker Crisis. The US were alleged to have set us up, and now told us to look after our own tankers. Leaving us to look to Europe for international security cooperation in the area... Irony isn't lost.
Let us see what tomorrow might bring though...
