The government’s highly controversial move to suspend parliament has narrowed the options for rebel MPs

There is no equivalence between constitutional manoeuvres to block no deal and Johnson’s contempt for our democratic traditions 

And do not give Johnson even the slightest wiggle room—he will use it

Plus when to expect a vote of no confidence

These constitutional realities will determine whether Johnson survives as PM

There are ways for parliament to halt the PM but they are fast disappearing 

The new PM could face lethal perils within just three months. Governing hasn’t looked so dicey since the Georgian age

How appalling that the issue has been allowed to get this far

The next PM could lose the confidence of the commons before he has even begun  

The project has come to mean nothing more than spiritual devotion to a lost cause
