Court acting as executive
Yes
Which is erotion of separation of powers further
And therefore is important
Important, but doesn't really change anything on the ground
Sign or prison is fine
Doesn't change anything until a lawsuit uses it as precident
If he didn't send a letter, and the courts didn't send a letter on his behalf, then the legality of brexit would be forever called into question, and they'd probably just revoke article 50 with a SO24
The whole "I won't ask for an extension" is a non-starter
Need to hang the traitors, I realise this isn't useful rhetoric but there seems little option.
Just need to bide your time and get an election
Though doubt this will help, iibh
Depends on extension yes or no
If yes, it's gonna have to be a tory BP alliance
Or if boris runs on a crash out no deal right now platform
Would need to be, but probably won't be because too many wets in the tory party still
Which case we'll get a lab/lib/snp coalition government and brexit will be ended
Like "Revoke ECA on first day" style thing
Boris would need to purge ~50 more MPs before an election to do that, so he won't
Unprecedented times
Even if not likely
I don't like to be surprised
He won't have the time to
So I look at every option and eventuality
And I don't know if he has the ability to - PM doesn't get to randomly deselect MPs just because he doesn't like their position on Brexit
did something happen at 9:15am?
Why
something budge in the EU withdrawl process?
the eurgbp spiked
No idea mate
Bad news for brexit if it did
If the pound went up
Possibly good news if it spiked down
the euro spiked down... then went back up
That's the minimalest of moves
Would require redrafting of the agreement to make NI stay within the SM/CU - not the whole UK as in May's agreement
It still won't pass parliament
So the crisis will continue
Likely extension followed by bad-tempered election.
