My question: how did Major come up with this idea of what Boris *might* try? 🤔 <:activated:504340346398834691>

he's making a very helpful suggestion for boris

Would not be surprised in the slightest

It would be more likely he is making a recommendation to the parl to start legislating

Against certain prerogative powers

there is no way for them to legislate against it

he could just yeet the legislation along with the benn bill

there is one other way to ruin their plans which was suggested

which would simply be that the government has control of bank holidays, and the ability to call bank holidays. Parliment does not sit on bank holidays.

2 week holiday before 31st <:Kapp:426321779221463051>

if bojo wants he could just call a bank holiday every day in the constituency of Westminster from now till october 31st, and there would be nothing parliament could do to stop him.

and what could the courts do to that 'sorry, calling bank holidays is illegal' the people revolt and manually dissolve the supreme court after a statement like that

Addng a bank holiday would not sit well with people, especially given they are appropriating the May Day bank holiday next year.

that's the beauty of it, it would only effect the constituency of Westminster

they can call localized bank holidays that only effect one constituency, and not the whole country

so all the people would see would be 'the supreme court have outlawed bank holidays' then chaos ensues

No, it shows that they pissed about with a bank holiday that people had already made plans for, and screwed annual tourist income from certain towns in the name of "too many bank holidays for us to add one for X event"for no good reason if they are willing to add one for arbitrary reasons, however localised it might be.

no, because the normal people would remain 100% unaffected by any bank holidays added to just Westminster. all the people of the country would see would be the big bold headline 'SUPREME COURT RULES BANK HOLIDAYS ILLEGAL' being totally oblivious to the bank holiday shenanigans going on in Westminster, as only a tiny number of people work there. the people would then call for the supreme court to be yeeted into oblivion.

were the rumours from yesterday stating that if opposition dont take up no confidence offer, then no 10 will assume parliament is behind his Brexit plan and Boris Johnson wont rule out a second prorogation false?

yeah, shared that before

You don't think "Boris creates Bank Holiday in Westminster Only" would hit the papers?

Oh soz

it might, but people wouldn't take notice, they might even just think 'oh he's done that weird prorogation thing again' then move on

Yeah, bank holiday in just Westminster would be stupid

It's not good politics

He wants to try and force them to give him a win win

ah yes, good politics, something this current parliment is renown for

Doubtful. There are a lot of people burned by the current bank holiday fiasco that would kick up a stink if they saw it mentined in the news.

They go low you go high

They're acting like children

they are, and we the people need to treat them as such

Time for big daddy Tyrone

yeahhh
