Which has already been covered and this discussion relates to new developments doesn't it ?

Exactly. People need to move on, there's enough to keep us talking about on new developments without retracing old arguments.

It isn't though. We voted to leave, that didn't stipulate when or on what terms.

Watching Boris on the news (he's in New York at the moment)

At the point of prorogation he said it was nothing to do with the Brexit process.

The supreme court say that he can't have prorogation.

Boris in New York then talks about how the SC got it wrong, and that there are individuals trying to block Brexit.

I spot something fishy....

I’d love him to do it, just for the sheer hell of it.

Boris is flying back early to be in Parliament tomorrow.

However, he was booked on a Thomas Cook flight... :D

Same. It'd be hilarious to see him held in contempt of court, added to the historic amount of defeats he has had as PM leading a minority Government.

Parliament would be reconvened almost immediately, if the Queen even went through with it.

I don't remember ever voting for a bunch of retired lawyers.

That's an old argument which is the remainer's refrain. Brexiteers always knew what they were voting for and accept Theresa May's statement that no deal is better than a bad deal.

What we now need to do is jolly well get on with it, and if we have to put up with tons of hot air in Parliament from the refusniks, so be it.

With a bit of luck, we will be refused an extension. If the HOC scraps Article 50, Boris will have great pleasure in resurrecting it when he gets in after the election. This time, we will leave the way it should have been done in the first place.
