The week ahead

This week will decide Brexit, where the country ends up.

There are four court cases challenging the legality of the suspension of Parliament.

The Government will lose at least one of these, and the fundamental point of the UK constitution law that Parliament is supreme will be upheld.

This will be a shock to the Brexiteers, though they were warned.

And Johnson cannot call a General Election without 2/3 of Parliament agreeing. Or a VoNC is called and lost.

Refusing to take a law passed by Parliament to the Queen to receive royal assent would be breaking the law. Think of that, the Government not complying with ether Parliament or the law.

Where will we end up? Who knows. Parliament can say, very strongly what it doesn't want (no deal), but would also need to say what it does like (the WA or revocation).

The Government continues to threaten its own MPs, and will roll out a £110 million pound "get ready for Brexit" campaign.

It will be rough.

Very rough.

I maintain that most of the current Cabinet are actually very shit, and if the above is right, shows how little lifelong MPs actually understand the very constitution they profess to protect. Brexit was always a bad idea, but those tasked with carrying it out have neither the skills or intelligence to do so.
