Please Champ… No need for petty shit at this moment… Maybe tomorrow 
This tweet from health secretary Matt Hancock, sent in June, is now doing the rounds. In it he calls on other Conservative leadership candidates to rule out proroguing parliament, saying it undermines parliamentary democracy. He doesn’t appear to have said anything about today’s announcement so far.

Proroguing Parliament undermines parliamentary democracy and risks a general election. I rule it out and call on all candidates to do the same pic.twitter.com/4aaAK3Tq8M

Former prime minister, John Major, said he is seeking legal advice on whether he can challenge Johnson’s decision to prorogue parliament.
In a statement read out on BBC News, Major said: “I have no doubt that the prime minister’s motive in seeking prorogation is to bypass a sovereign parliament that opposes his policy. As events unfold I will continue to seek advice on the legality of this and other matters, but will be making no further comment.”
Last month Major said he would be willing to go to court to seek a judicial review to stop Johnson proroguing parliament.
In June he said this:

‘I cannot imagine Mr Disraeli, Mr Gladstone, Mr Churchill or Mrs Thatcher even in their most difficult moments saying let us put parliament aside while I carry through this difficult policy that a part of my party disagrees with.’

Agreed.
People be angry today, no doubt in that but is it enough to get them to miss eastenders? I DOUBT IT
You still don’t understand that it’s not a choice between the Queen and a democratically elected leader - we do actually have both, as do some other European nations.
Investing all of a nation’s power in one individual is the absolute worst form of government, full stop.
The British monarch’s power to dissolve Parliament and appoint a PM on being asked to is a convention that has served us well for a long time, and most here would hope that if one day the worst thing happened and the people elected an out and out Nazi the monarch would have the balls not to appoint them.
Lawyers seeking to reverse Boris Johnson’s move to prorogue parliament hope a Scottish court will also hold a far faster hearing on whether the measure is unconstitutional and illegal.
A legal team acting for Joanna Cherry and 74 other MPs and peers expect to be in court in Edinburgh this Friday morning to urge Scotland’s civil court, the court of session, to block the proroguing agreed today by the Queen.
They had already won approval for a full hearing of their legal challenge to Johnson’s proroguing strategy on Friday 6 September next week. They will now ask the court to hear that case early next week, following Johnson’s gambit on Wednesday.
Jolyon Maugham QC, the anti-Brexit lawyer who helped coordinate the legal challenge through his Good Law Project, said they believe the courts are able to reverse the decision even though it has been approved by the Queen:

Vince Cable to stand down as MP at next election
Kate Proctor
Some non-prorogation news now. Our political correspondent Kate Proctor reports that there is speculation that the Liberal Democrats are preparing to welcome another defector, after their former leader Vince Cable announced he would stand down as an MP at the next election.
The candidate for Cable’s Twickenham seat, which he won back from the Conservatives in the 2017 general election, will be chosen from an all-female shortlist. Those wanting to stand have until midday on Friday to say so. A spokesman for the party said:
Vince has enjoyed a fantastic parliamentary career in the Liberal Democrats and representing the people of Twickenham. He will continue to serve as the MP until the next election, whenever that may be.

Bye felica you utter ■■■■ bastard who degraded you’re own females of Britain.
Ruth Davidson is to quit as the leader of the Conservatives in Scotland, according to a report in the Scottish Sun.
Quoting ‘insiders,’ it says that she is to step down “due to the pressures of motherhood.”
Davidson became the first UK party leader to have a baby while in office when she gave birth to a boy at Edinburgh royal infirmary last October.
Motherhood, lol fuck off.
So the Queen and her royal pierogis can just shut down Parliament? Seems like y’all need an upgrade to your system.
Yeah, lets adopt yours that allows a neo-Nazi to be king. lol at you and your “checks and balances”.
