Catching up here.
It seems to me someone (may be Mogg) in the Boris camp with a deep knowledge of how Parliament functions has gone to Boris and said something like
'Boris if we do this................. it does not flout any thing in Parliamentary procedures etc'
Boris has said what a spiffing wheeze
BJ then implemented it and caught the Remainers off guard.
A backlash starts but it all goes ahead (prediction).
In the time allowed there are Budget speeches, Party Conference Queen's speech (note apostrophe), Friday off etc.
It is a master stroke whether you agree with it or not is different.
BJ has actually done something and so far I am with him as the alternative (Jeremy & Dianne) to me is not good
If this is an example of what Rees-Mogg and Johnson can cook up together, I say let the fun continue!
If my hunch is right, this could be a very successful political partnership.
At a stroke, they've cut the legs out from under the Remoaners.
Hastened the resignation of that silly Conservative tart in Edinburgh.
Almost given Bercow a coronary. (better luck next time)
Put the French and Germans on the back foot. Only place for them.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if the DUP had a hand in this too.
The PM would have to be certain in advance, that the confidence and supply arrangement
would give him the numbers to win an inevitable vote of no confidence in The Commons.
The DUP spokesperson I saw interviewed about this looked a tad smug and completely unsurprised.
Finally, a government with some brains and balls, in fairly equal measure.
