To add to BoJo’s woes it’s Corbyn not the PM who’ll decide when there’ll be an election

PMs without majorities shouldn’t be able to call elections The Fixed-term Parliament Act was the most lasting constitutional change to come out of the 2010 to 2015 Conservative Liberal Democrat coalition. It was always said that it was unnecessary because the main opposition party would always vote for an election if that was offered as we saw in April 2017.

Compared with the 2016 “Enemies of the People” Mail coverage today’s tabloids appear quite restrained

Compared with the 2016 “Enemies of the People” Mail coverage today’s tabloids appear quite restrained

While watching the Supreme Court verdict yesterday morning I wondered quite how the strident pro-Brexit tabloids would cover it.

Devastating defeat for Boris Johnson – and perhaps Brexit

Devastating defeat for Boris Johnson – and perhaps Brexit

  But will he prorogue again? The ruling from the Supreme Court today that the government acted unlawfully in proroguing parliament for as long as it did, when it did, is nothing but a devastating defeat for a government which has no majority, no great mandate and no obviously workable plan.
