Westminstenders: The Rule of Law

We enter week 2 of what might be considered 'the end game'.

The Conservative Party has made it clear that liberals are not welcome in their ranks. It has become the Brexit Party.

Farage is talking of a pact, though Javid has said no. What would Javid know though, he's only in the Cabinet.

Amber Rudd has resigned. She will run as an independent in an unnamed constituency at the next election. The assumption must therefore be she has been talking to a few people this week about this, though whether that means she is a 'One Nation Tory' independent candidate or simply an independent isn't clear.

Some think that her departure will deal Johnson yet another blow at the polls. Others think as the cabinet members with the worst satisfaction rating amongst tory party members this will be viewed positively by leavers and give Johnson a bounce in the polls.

It been reported that Cummings has overruled Johnson on at least key decisions this week which raises the question of who is in charge and running the show.

Cummings has promised to make us all melt in the coming weeks as he takes a sledge hammer to constitutional convention. He's advised no 10 staff to be 'cool like Fonzies'. A reference to pulp fiction and to happy days. As some have commented if you think about Cummings as some one who has watched too much Tarantino it does make him make a lot more sense.

There are suggestions that Johnson will break the rule of law in refusing to ask for an extension and the No10 have a trick up their sleeve over loopholes. The most obvious thing here being to offer the EU a deal they can't possibly refuse agree too to smear them and to then make it impossible for the EU to agree to an extension which noises out of France seem to suggest anyway.

Tomorrow is going to be interesting...

Appeal result from the Scottish court is due on Wednesday. Joanne Cherry said that if the outcome was favourable the court could cancel the prorogation and haul them back to Parliament. All is not lost she said.

SistemaAddict · 09/09/2019 19:18

That was quite a shout of no. No idea what the no was for as people would talk in my ear preventing my Bercow fix Angry

The degree of silencing impact reports at this time of crisis has my blood boiling. Cummings simply has to be complicit in people dying if he is running headlong into a No Deal. He may well hope he can trick another party into taking over the reigns, but his conscience and that of his family surely are at extended reach hoping for this as a 'political trick'? I know we are all saying "evil" etc about people we disagree with but on a basic level, how are these people not seeing what long term damage they do to our country merely by being the first ones "with balls" to do it? Abuses happen and need for constitutional change are rife, but ploughing through the public with the 'game plan' that some other party will save you and your choices at the last minute from a country full of people unable to eat and have medication are astounding!

I've just spoken to my school friend who has battled with bipolar since she was 16, regular church goer and general lovely person, who has been told today her meds, which she has blood tests for every month, are unlikely to be available after a ND Brexit. We all know people who will suffer and I am significantly over being told that this wasn't voted for by idiots who have no idea of shades of grey or intricacies of trade and is ACTUALLY the will of the people. If people are so happy to walk headfirst into this, why not PUBLISH YELLOWHAMMER. Let people SEE what they voted for, finally.

Sorry raging.

SistemaAddict · 09/09/2019 19:31

So the ayes have it and therefore they have to publish the communications of prorogation and yellowhammer

JustAnotherPoster00 · 09/09/2019 19:32

RedToothBrush · 09/09/2019 19:32

Alex Wickham

A senior government source wishes Bercow well

“Bercow thinks he’ll walk away as a hero, when most people in the country don’t know who he is and those that do think he’s a nauseating wanker. The man has been central to stopping Brexit - the nation won’t thank him.”

This is a govt source- WTAF. I just can't believe what I am reading now. Shameful

Songsofexperience · 09/09/2019 19:33

Yes jesuispoulet. Enough of the bullshit!

No dealers are dangerous destructive morons.

boatyardblues · 09/09/2019 19:33

Wow! Classy. 🙄

BirdOffTheWire · 09/09/2019 19:35

Coarse language, rude manners etc all are the hallmarks of fascism because they normalize abuse and disrespect (ultimately disrespect of human life).

SistemaAddict · 09/09/2019 19:35

Is there any I ❤️ Bercow merchandise available?

TheMShip · 09/09/2019 19:36

@RedToothBrush a humble address is binding: beta.parliament.uk/articles/MgAh1c5Q

The Opposition sometimes table a motion in the form of a humble address on Opposition days. A humble address is a message to the Queen. It’s used, among other things to call for papers from departments headed by a Secretary of State.

It can be debated, amended and voted on like any other motion.

Humble addresses, if agreed, are understood to be binding on the House.

So now we have Yellowhammer being published without Parliament being able to help make laws or mitigate for the public response...
