Maybe! But only one MP has ever been removed by the process for it (earlier this year in fact!)
Oh definitely, I just meant it won't matter in terms of whether we get an extension or not.
Yes. For a sentence of less than a year there would be a recall election in which Johnson could stand. For any longer sentence he would be disqualified and there'd be a by-election
probably be an unlawful act like the porrogation was, so no criminal prosecution.
If this deal he has is so amazing why is he worried about it being scrutinised in parliament? What's he afraid of that he has to rush the deal through before anyone can properly read it and understand everything 100%? That's the obvious thing that makes this entire thing far too fishy and I can't believe our media is not pointing this out and the idiot brexiteers don't seem to care about.
Ah okay, yeah I hope the EU just choose to ignore his bullshit.
Labour MPs who are voting for his deal, need to take this dumb shig into account. They won't but they should
Tusk's tweet is quite telling in that he's not getting caught up in all that other nonsense. I'd be very surprised if sending an unsigned photo copy constitutes following the law though and the accompanying documents are clearly an attempt to undermine it. Should be in serious trouble with the courts.
Also, is the message to MPs still not loud enough that this man can not be trusted to oversee Brexit? It is still utterly shameful that Labour MPs (or Independents) would consider supporting his deal.

Good luck. It wasn't fun seeing it underlined that the US president is.
How any Labour MP, no matter how passionately they believe in Brexit, could back a deal from this prime minister is beyond me. What weight does his promises on workers rights hold when he can't even be trusted to abide by the law?
How any so called "moderate" Conservatives can stand idly by while he attempts to impose a dictatorship on the country is frankly disgusting.
The EU maybe pissed off with the whole thing but the also know Boris is full of shit. Just last week he was using language from world war II and other such bullshit. This letter now has him being all lovey dovey with the EU and europe. It's a well crafted, if not properly spell checked, suck up letter.
Those commitments were legally binding in May's deal and we're moved to a non-legally binding political declaration in BJ's deal
It's the kind of thing we would come up with as a joke on this forum.
It's almost like he says whatever he thinks is needed in that moment to help himself and his ambitions.
24 hrs ago Macron said Boris was no longer a clown and should be taken seriously. Then he pulls this daft idea out of Cummings nut.
Aye, him and Cummings were acting like they had some super secret loophole.
It's just for this one time, if parliament want to force further extensions there will need to be further acts (or maybe just one, if it is written in such a way that it sets up recurring conditions).
Apparently this is all part of a master plan.
Hopefully his actions reiterate to parliament how important something like this is. You cannot assume good faith in anything with this prime minister.
The best part of it is how many leavers thought he had some genius plan. Once again Boris is all bluster.
It is only relevant for requesting an extension from Oct 31st to Jan 31st (if another date is offered by the EU then the HoC votes on it). In theory, no other extension will be necessary because either Boris will pass his deal, possibly amended, or there will be a VoNC and a general election.
Yep, Johnson has proven to be so untrustworthy that parliament has found the need to programme his actions via legislative scripting. I do have some misgivings about the use of this kind of legislation in future, but for this PM, it's a necessity.
Isn't it possibly Contempt of Court he'd be facing?
That's a criminal offence, not just an unlawful act.
TBF I don't think the Labour rebels ever trusted Boris, I just think they saw a different approach on the cards.
He said he wouldn't do like 7 hours before he did. It's ridiculous.
I mean, mentally he never left school so such a thing isn't surprising, but he is a petty fucking cunt. It'd be amazing if he was jailed, and they scrubbed the tougher jail electioneering off.
If he doesn't then he or a successor will try to get away with much worse in the future. Lifting the executive above the law is hugely dangerous.
The Letter's been sent
It's been received
Its request will probably be granted.
Talking about contempt, court cases or even jail is ridiculous and just distracts from the main point. He sent the letter after months of saying he wouldn't and even repeating it a few hours ago in parliament.
We knew there would be a twist and this is the best these megaminds could come up with. The Benn Act required the letter be sent by the UK PM and that's what's been delivered.
Don't let yourself get dragged into the gutter with these fuckwits, that's what they want.

Soon as Conservatives get a majority or public votes to leave again
