He refused to rule it out but why wouldn't you if you have no principles and know the voters are mostly Brexit at any cost loons. | |

Alongside about 300 other economists who have said the same. One has said the opposite, as cited by the OBR today. They of course can’t see into the future, but i’d trust all of them over the one Johnson economist. Maybe Johnson should stick to researching Kipper facts, given his lies last night

EG meant 'proroguing'. 'Prorouging' would be some sort of ladies' make-up thing. | |

Bit like the 300+ economists who said the markets wouldn't crash 10 years ago. As I've said to a couple of these economists the day you guarantee it will happened and you give all your money and pension pot to charity if it doesnt I'll believe you. I've not yet found one who will take up that offer, strange when you think are insistent it will happen | | | |

Parliament has to be sitting in order to do that. This was about whether it could be dismissed, at the request of the Cabinet, in order simply to let the clock run down. Which now becomes a lot less feasible. | |

the commons with the speaker would have got around that. the vote today understates the size of the commons majority against no deal. | |

Technically, the Cabinet, as a quorum of the Privy Council, can request that the Queen prorogues Parliament. There is nothing the Commons can do to prevent that. However, the amendment to this Act is intended to ensure that Parliament will have to be sitting during the crucial period. | |

I wonder, re your first para, whether the Queen would ever be prepared to be "strategically ill" in order to avoid giving her consent! She'd surely object personally to such a politically motivated attack on our constitution (unwritten though it is) - and probably also to a no-deal which she can see would adversely affect the UK. | |

Are these the same economists who forecast a 2016 and 2017 recession on the shockwaves of a leave vote? | |

What are the Brexiteer economists forecasting? According to a study from Cardiff uni we could be £90bn better off! Let the good times roll :) | |

Here we go again. Let's step back from the semantics and agree that the majority forecasted a negative response. Which is what's happened. | |

It would also be dragging the monarch into politics, which is considered extremely bad form. | |
