If (and it is always a big if) Twitter is to believed then Dominic Cummings had a bit of a meltdown last night. There are other Tweets saying similar things as well but separate incidents. Johnson's Puppet Master seems unhappy.

What an unbelievable pile of s**t.

For the very little it's worth, speaking as an unmoved remainer, I agree with the Brexiteers who argue that a further arbitrary delay will achieve absolutely nothing.

Surely we ALL agree that a root and branch reform of UK politics is overdue?

We'll see an election soon, just not on Johnson's timing would be my guess.

Ivan Rogers funnily enough has experience of what he is talking about that I'm guessing you have absolutely none.

Funnily enough it doesnt change the fact that it is still an opinion so is indeed not fact.

It may be old but....

How?

I know.... let the people vote on important matters..... that works well.

A form of proportional representation, based purely on County boundaries, is about the only possibility.

The electorate vote for a Party not an individual.

This means that you have a team of MPs that reflect the strength of the different political opinions in your area.

Ergo in Leicestershire we would have a mix of Labour MP`s from the City and Tories from the Shire plus a smattering of Lib Dem/Brexit folk.

“The best argument against Democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” as the quote often wrongly attributed to Churchill goes.

I've no idea how.

One thing, Theresa May looked like she enjoyed yesterday, every photo I've seen of her she was smiling or laughing including a few when in the chamber.

So what? Nobody knows what will happen so when we drive off the cliff everything might just be fine; just shout very loud and keep your eyes closed.

Could be more like the 'chickie run' in "Rebel Without a Cause".

So the Operation Yellowhammer report (the Gove et al. revised version) still hasn’t been released for the public to take a look at.

I wonder why that is?

The court case today had an interesting ruling:

Brexit: Judge rejects parliament shutdown legal challenge - BBC News

This comment was interesting:
The power to prorogue is a prerogative power and the prime minister had the vires (powers) to advise the sovereign as to its exercise

Well, tbf it is dated August 2019, contrary to the government's claim that it is 'an old plan', so it is not that overdue.

According to today's Private Eye, "To fill the thousands of extra civil service posts required the government has arranged..... thousands of local government officials are to be re-allocated to Whitehall departments....
The army, including territorial volunteers are being issued with instructions to take over local government, in a civilian capacity, in the event of 'no deal'.

Providing social services, planning decisions, managing council tax - not what soldiers are normally selected for or trained for. This could be one reason?

I guess that’s what John Mills was referring to on the Channel 4 News last night when he said there’d be “a few bumps in the road”.
