MPs will be taking that into consideration when deciding his replacement. Yes - last time we will see that again for a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You‘ve really got an unhealthy and toxic political atmosphere when even the representatives resort to childish behaviour. Yeah, there was a standing ovation from the opposite benches following his resignation, and some scattered applause from the Tories - not even a solitary clap from the Tory front bench.

Well Jo Maugham reckons it means that as of now parliament is no longer prorogued. The government are appealing and it'll be heard by the Supreme Court on Tuesday.

PaddockLad 17079 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) It goes to supreme court in London on 17th Sept. Last day of Lib Dems conference, labour week after, then Tories. So fairly irrelevant practically but if Johnson is proved to have lied to the queen?? 🤔 Edited September 11, 2019 by PaddockLad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parliament has to vote to go into recess during conference season, every chance now they won't vote to do so. Edit: And even if they did, committee work still goes on during recess meaning that Johnson and his merry band of fools can still be held to account.

Monkeys Fist 42066 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Does lying to Lizzy count as treason? If so, can Johnson be looking at a stretch? Fuck me I hope so 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
