Another week of chaos.

This week, some kind of resolution for Brexit might be found.

Or not.

Johnson hopes to bring back a vote in his WA tomorrow, though it seems unlikely numbers in the chamber will change that much, depends what might be offered to tempt waverers.

Johnson and Raab seem confident not only they have the numbers, but that Brexit will happen in 31st October. It is impossible to see that happening due to the legislation that will need to be passed before then, there just isn't time, but Johnson will try to railroad Parliament with little or no scrutiny, pretty much as the Conservatives have done since the referendum.

What is clear, is that the Tories have lost the DUP who would vote to revoke Brexit before backing Johnson's WA.

In the meantime, the Scottish inner court will decide if Johnson tried to frustrate Parliament and thus go against assurances the Government made a week ago. It is unlikely they will do anything, but we have been saying such things for two weeks.

Anyone who says this week, or at the end of it, they knew what the outcome was going to be, is lying.

Anything can happen.
