Her Majesty met with members of Privy Council today at Balmoral and an order to prorogue Parliament between September 9 to October 14 was given the green light this afternoon.I don’t claim to understand the fine points of another country’s governmental machinations, here’s what The Sun claims is going on.
Boris' bold move to block MPs from sitting in Parliament for around five weeks over conference season will give rebels less time to launch new plots to stop us leaving on October 31.Needless to say, those who oppose Brexit are outraged, apoplectic in fact. They sound like our Democrats bewailing the latest Trump ‘treason.’
MPs would come back for a Queen's Speech on October 14 under the plans, just two weeks before we're due to leave the EU.
That would leave just days for a possible vote of no confidence in Boris, or for rebel MPs to pass a law to push back the Brexit date.
No need to tell this PM to “grow a pair.” Perhaps Theresa May will prove to have been Neville Chamberlain to Boris Johnson’s Winston Churchill. That is, the sincere, well-meaning loser before the bulldog takes charge.
