PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[Dogsauce]

Do we have to have mercy on his soul?

Not applicable, tories are not equipped with this feature.

 

[equationgirl]

Good. I'm all out of mercy.

Is there going to be PMQs tomorrow? Can't wait to seen how De Peffel responds to all this.

Really, given what we now know, the Queen needs to resign. Her position is untenable.

This is a hideous moment for the Palace.

The Queen had very little discretion over whether to prorogue Parliament; she acts in this case on the advice of her prime minister.

Whilst some argue that Boris Johnson lacked the legitimacy of other prime ministers, and that this might have swayed the Queen’s decision, that would have meant stepping into (even more of) a constitutional minefield.

But to have an Order in Council – the exercise of Royal Prerogative, the mechanism by which the prorogation takes place – ruled unlawful and void, is breathtaking.

Worse for the Palace, and for the Queen, is the spotlight this throws onto all the dark corners of the British constitution.

For decades, for centuries, it’s been governed by convention and precedent, and an unspoken agreement not to push things too far. Boris Johnson blew that apart.

And now the demands for a written constitution are coming. And with them the inevitable question – just what role should there be for a hereditary monarch?

From the BBCs live updates page which is a lot more entertaining than normal.

No, there is some requirement to give a certain amount of notification ahead of time so it cant happen tomorrow.

Bercow said no PMQs tomorrow.

But, it's still going to be a very painful day for ministers.

Bet the Queen is signing his name on a death warrant as we speak whilst enjoying a large gin and dubonnet. Special occasion and all that.

Don't worry Boz, could have been worse:

Shame.

Bercow has graciously invited the government to send a minister to make a statement when parliament re-opens tomorrow - the experience, for said minister, may sting a tad.

Oh dear, how sad, never mind...

 

[kebabking]

Lady Hale giveth and Lady Hale taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lady Hale...

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Ironic that Johnson tried to exploit the Royal Prerogative, and now he's been left with about as much actual power as the Queen.

 

[StoneRoad]

I'm wondering if BJ's constituency will consider a recall motion ?

he doen't have a huge majority.

 

[Marty1]

I guess this proves beyond any doubt that the judicial establishment are anything but impartial.

 

[Gaia]

First rain, then Hale…

(Think I’ll leave the jokes to danny la rouge)

Hello Marty1

What decision today do you think wouldn't have provided such proof?

Now that would be funny.

 

[kebabking]

Yes, they have this appalling bias against shit that's outside the the law. Dreadful...

Oh yes, FUCK OFF.
