We really are through the looking glass now. Corbyn’s main job as leader of the opposition is to want, demand, and be ready for an election. Yet he prefers to keep an unworkable government in place and deny the people their say.

Now I wonder what the counter-move is. I’m not ready to believe Cummings was allowed to march the government into this without a strategy with contingencies worked right through to the end.
I think the best option for Boris now is to ask the Queen to extend the prorogation from today until November on the grounds that the opposition have made it impossible to govern. Therefore, there is no point in the Commons sitting.

I can't see the Government being able to conduct business with the other parties simply voting everything down, can you?
