Tea and Crumpets you new world barbarian!Oh no! Now who's going to fetch the tea and sandwiches for the cabinet meetings!<Lmaoo>
In a direct warning to No 10, the Speaker of the House of Commons said he is prepared to allow “additional procedural creativity” if necessary to allow parliament to block Johnson from ignoring the law.
hard line brexiteers dont give a single flying fuck about N ireland, the only holdup is caused by those 19th century clowns the DUP, and the fact the tories need their support in parliament, now his majority is blown away, boris clings onto them like a drowning man. nobody else wants anything to do with those no surrender! looniesYep, it's the only real solution. It won't stop the other parts of the Brexit disaster, but at least it will resolve the 'potentially triggering a civil war' part of it. I just can't see enough hard line Brexiters voting for it though. I can definitely see Johnson pushing for it though, he is a man of zero principles and would sell out the no deal Brexiters and the ERG gladly if he thought it would suit him politically.
I agree the brexiters couldn't care less about NI - by 'it' I meant the withdrawl agreement, with or without a solution to the Irish border problem. Sorry, it was written quite badly, so I can see how you thought I was saying that.hard line brexiteers dont give a single flying fuck about N ireland, the only holdup is caused by those 19th century clowns the DUP, and the fact the tories need their support in parliament, now his majority is blown away, boris clings onto them like a drowning man. nobody else wants anything to do with those no surrender! loonies

Get your popcorn ready, looks like he's actually keeping his word:
Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to defy a new law designed to stop him forcing the U.K. out of the European Union with no deal next month, and is braced for a fight to settle Brexit in the British courts.
According to a senior official in the U.K. government, Johnson has resolved on a hard-line plan as he prepares for his first face-to-face negotiations with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker on Monday.
The premier is vowing to do everything he can to secure a divorce deal with the EU and ratify it in Parliament before the deadline for leaving expires on Oct. 31. But he will tell Juncker that there is just one month left to finalize that agreement and he won’t ask for a delay if the negotiations are fruitless. Johnson will say he’ll reject any extension to the deadline if one is offered by the EU’s other 27 leaders at a summit next month.
Instead, Johnson will ignore a new British law requiring him to ask the EU for Brexit to be postponed and prepare to fight his opponents -- including opposition Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn -- in court.
“Don’t be fooled by Corbyn and the ringleaders -- on the one hand they say I don’t want a deal, on the other they want to force me to extend,” Johnson said in a statement. “Both are wrong. I am straining to get a deal, but I will also end the uncertainty and take us out on the 31 October.”
In an interview with the Mail on Sunday, Johnson said the U.K. will break out of its “manacles” like the comic-book character the Incredible Hulk.
The prime minister’s hardened stance dramatically raises the stakes in the U.K.’s political and constitutional crisis over its tortured exit from the EU. After voting to leave the trading bloc in 2016, the country is no closer to completing the divorce in a way that avoids the chaos of a sudden rupture without an agreement to soften the blow.
