I thought we had sorted this out in the Civil War; Parliament is sovereign. Not the government, not the monarch, but Parliament.

Boris is really going to be in a difficult situation if he rides roughshod over Parliament. It may take the speaker to step in, of course, but I think he might just do that.

Bliss.

But at least Bojo gets to capitalise on Cameron and Osborne's Fixed Term Parliament Act and can drag us out of Europe without Parliamentary approval on the idea of a no-deal Brexit.

This is all so shocking it really is like an accidental coup d'état by the stupid and hard of thinking; but led by a scholarship boy who spent his whole life coasting on his intelligence and who never actually worked hard at anything apart from getting his leg over. (I know the breed well, as I am something similar; excepting I have the patience to read and parse the GFA and understand the implications of Brexit without an agreement.)

As for Boris, may I recommend the opening lines to Catullus XVI:

Pedicabo ego uos et irrumabo...

Or is that what he's doing to us?
