Her Royal Highness has just given the new Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, permission to suspend parliament beginning next month for about six weeks, until October 14, when HRH is scheduled to give a major speech on the subject of Brexit. Parliament just returned to session from their summer vacation.
The Brexit opposition has filed a legal challenge in the Court of Sessions, the highest civil court in Scotland, to suspend the suspension (so to speak). Scotland as a group did NOT vote in favor of Brexit. This move is supported by about 70 members of Parliament.
Boris Johnson has announced that he intends to take the UK out of the EU on October 31 whether or not a deal to smooth the action out is in place. You might recall that Brexit has already been stalled twice.
The head Brexit co-ordinator at the European Parliament, Guy Verhofstadt, has said that this action is unlikely to help deliver a stable future EU-UK relationship. No Shit Sherlock.
Even if Parliament were to collectively make a no-confidence vote and try to force a new election for PM this could not be accomplished prior to October 31.
Where is Winston when you need him?
