There was.
Unless of course you’re saying that the whole point of the prorogation was to facilitate a no deal Brexit something Boris himself has strenuously denied

What? You seem to be a trifle confused. First you allege I said Parliament was acting unlawfully (which I didn't) and now you imply that I think the point of prorogation was to facilitate a no deal Brexit (and I have said nothing of the sort). I have made clear throughout that the proroguing of Parliament was done in view of the conference season and the Queen's Speech.

I didn't say anything to the contrary. I was comparing the comments people were making about Boris's behaviour with the behaviour of Parliament in doing all it can to ditch Brexit.

So what? Boris wants to implement the will of the electorate, and the lost votes simply reflect his lack of a majority for getting that through.
You can't blame the man for trying (although no doubt, you will).
I would like to ask why these last few weeks are so important for having Parliamentary debates when it is self evident that three years of debating has got us nowhere, except to prove that Parliament won't agree any solution that is put to them. What a waste of time. Now the Labour Party Conference will have to be cut short and the Conservative Party Conference postponed.
Absolutely insane.

No, it is the impact of the prorogation that will be important, although the amount of time involved, inevitably, will form part of the assessment.

Given that the majority of the electorate at the last election voted for parties specifically ruling out No Deal, this does implement the will of the (last active) electorate.
You cannot blame him for trying but the Supreme Court of the UK can. I know which is the more credible.
You ask why this is important? Sort of obvious really. The current PM is intent on leaving the EU without an orderly exit which, in the eyes of our elected Parliamentary representatives, is not in the best interests of the country.

He is quite popular within the party isn’t he? Not sure it’s gonna help the Tory Party opinions of No 10 if he is perceived to be the sacrificial lamb but if it is his legal advice that got them here then..,

The Conservatives have thrown enough popular people out of the Party recently so another one won't make too much difference.
More pressure on the PM - he has two weeks to explain his dealings with US businesswoman Jennifer Arcuri.

Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion
Meanwhile, John Mcdonnell goes on the news to suggest the Tory party should deal with Boris. He’d love that of course - saves Labour having to set in train events that would lead to an election that, despite everything, they would almost certainly lose.

I think everyone knows an election is coming soon either way. They just want to make sure Boris Johnson is getting as much bad press as possible, although I don't think they're nearly adept at it as Dominic Cummings is.
I think the election result is really up in the air. In terms of seats it's easier to see where the Tories lose seats (Scotland, Lib/Tory marginals) but it's not clear where they win them. They're betting the house on large swings from Labour Brexiters but if they've miscalculated that then....
