Need an England test match asap please to divert from this embarrassing nonsense.
Fancy getting humiliated on your big day in the sun...poor bloke.
I didn’t believe him at the time, but Richard N was right.
Boris really is worse than Theresa May.
Given that money is riding like this, I would welcome a serious response.

Given that, I'd have thought that the example you cite would fall foul of the law even if the Supreme Court rules that the first prorogation was OK.

If they don't, then as you say Johnson could extend it again. However, it's said that the Palace warned him "not to even think about" putting them in a position where they had to make a political judgment. Effectively suspending Parliament indefinitely in order to force something through would surely run into Palace reluctance.
That said, judges are human and they may try to split the difference, ruling that the issue is justiciable but in this case the action was not so egregious as to warrant court intervention. That would be a clear hint that on another occasion they might.
I don't think they realise how loathed they are by normal people.
Why should I support Bozo and his criminal cabal in no 10. I don’t care if the government is humiliated or embarrassed . I didn’t realize we all had to swear allegiance to the great one !
I support Britain , any humiliation to it is being caused by the Brexit fiasco which I didn’t vote for .
You voted for it and so own it , so cut the whining and accept responsibility for your vote !
What's sauce for the Goose is sauce for the Gander.
In fact, how would you define 'normal people', and does it differ for, say, Norfolk?
It's a view I suppose.
I will be really surprised at any other outcome.
doing hand brake turns round Islington for the rest of the week.
What Spain wouldn’t have is an entire class of quislings, trying to undermine their own country, and cheering at any possibility of Spain being humiliated or defeated.
Eeeez all tiny ere!
Start the Week with Andrew Marr was absolutely brilliant this morning. It was less like the normal Start the Week and more like an episode of 'In Our Times'. The guests were
Lord David Howell - Chairman of The Commonwealth Societies Association and former Executive Member of the European Movement. He also served Heath, Thatcher and Major as advisor.
Susan Neiman - An American moral philosopher based in Berlin who has been studying the process of how countries come to terms with their past crimes.
Professor Stuart Ward - specialises in European imperial history and the settler-colonies of the British empire.
Jane Green - Co-Director of the British Election Study
Lots of fascinating stuff on Brexit, the Commonwealth an particularly in the latter part of the programme on voter churn and the changing nature of our politics.
Really interesting, informed and well balanced. Available to listen to for the next few days at:

Thank you for your interesting recent review of David Cameron's autobiography. It motivated me to go and buy a copy, but I was told it was not out for another three days.
How did you manage to get a copy and read it so quickly that you could give us such a detailed account?
I believe it runs to 750 pages. Would take me a month to get through that lot. Impressed.
Tough guy. Do not mess with.
What a change from that pussy Obama.
I read more today, in The Times. Amazingly, it gets WORSE. More inane, more self-pitying, more cringey.
Weirdly, he thinks quoting Boris’ texts, praising Dave, makes Dave look better.
“Back in my office, with George, I prepared to watch Boris’s leadership-campaign launch speech. Or at least, we thought it would be his launch speech. But there was another shocking turn of events: rather than going ahead and at least challenging Michael, he declared that he was withdrawing altogether. George sat there beaming at the TV. “We have taken Boris out. Now on to Port Stanley!” he said, meaning it was Michael’s turn to fall next.
“He thought it was great news, and that the two of them were both dead in the water. I called Lynton Crosby, who said Boris had withdrawn because he knew he wouldn’t get the necessary support any more. I couldn’t resist texting the former frontrunner: “You should have stuck with me, mate.” His reply was very Boris: “Blimey, is he [Michael] a bit cracked or something? Great speech last night, everyone watched and thought we’d all gone insane to lose you and people were looking at me as if I was a leper, but you had 11 hard years of party leadership and six superbly as PM, more than I will ever do. Boris.””
Is it politics, where they shouldn’t go. Is it democracy and constitution where they absolutely are obliged to go.
Good luck to them trying to explain it’s just merely politics. 😄
I agree. Boris played that bit quite well. Couldn’t hold the press conference out there amongst that crowd.
His interview with Laura was an utter car crash. That’s probably more serious.
£25,300 on six-second Brexit advert. Any brexiteers care to defend that? When you think how far that would go in a school or hospitable.
Boris was the discourteous one for at least not starting the conference to show how pointless it was
Does he perhaps share some Germanic ancestry with our own distinguished prime minister?
In fact, the Letzeboorgsche hellmouth is who kicked it all off and is still holding all the strings.
Contrary to popular belief the evil empire of the Fourth Reich was not started by Frogs and Krauts in '51 but rather by the Letzeboorger hellhounds in '44.
They used the tribulations of the time to infiltrate the British Empire and sneakily chose the very heart of it, Westminster, as the setting to impose their yoke on the unsuspecting Dutch and Belgians, under the BENELUX guise.
That's where the founding treaties were signed, and BENELUX with its common constitutional charter, supranational parliament and other institutions was then later on the template to plot for the enslavement of other European peoples, and, of course, they made a killing of it.
The Mouse That Roared!
HY should be happy about this, in his lists of seats to change hands at next election he had a pile the libdems could win. This evening it has to be less likely libdems will perform well in those now, such as Cornwall and up through the southwest, but proportionately better at taking votes off Labour in London, the south and east.
It’s a HY win 😀
I also hope that the judges split 6/5 in judging that this particular Prorogation is NOT unlawful to illustrate the fact that Johnson/Cummings are walking very near the edge of legality.
It was a rather formidable Grand Duchy in its day. It was stripped of most of its hinterland by rival powers to prevent it getting too upitty again.
What this does indicate is the vulnerability of Saudi and other ME oil assets. Even the USA would really struggle to stop repeated drone attacks like this. It makes conventional control of the skies pretty pointless and ineffective.
The biggest gainers in the short run are likely to be fracking companies in the US and Canada. The pressure to make us less dependent upon ME sources will also increase. At a time when the world economy is already suffering a downturn I would not underestimate the implications of this. We really need to get on with fracking here too.
To take a leaf out of the Leave handbook during the EU ref , and one of the many slogans .
Love Britain Hate Bozo !
Leavers seem to think that anyone that disagrees with Brexit is a heretic .
We simply have a difference of opinion as to what we think is best for the country . Just as we do during general elections.
To date Trump has been far less trigger happy than Nobel Peace Prize laureate Obama.
