Boris thought he could just shut down Parliament, prorogue, takes affect shortly for 5 weeks.. so he wouldn't have to answer any questions..he now also needs to produce documents surrounding the no-deal Brexit..what would it do....

Motion urging government to comply with no-deal prevention law passes without a vote..

Boris basically said he would rather be dead in a ditch...now, he has to negotiate...we'll see..

On break until 1:10am. Fascinating stuff. Their conservatives are just as dishonest as ours.

But bettah….I will miss Speaker OR-DAH Bercow..fascinating stuff, indeed..I am almost thinking it is satisfying, considering here in the ol' USA, we are just getting wound up..

I wish our congress was as open, and aggressive as the Brits...
