Old-me, you have the gift of hindsight and know better about what will happen in the coming months than me. I can't make sense of it all.
Today I learned the prime minister can get the Queen to shut down parliament for a few weeks. It is a loophole in British law called Poroguing, sounds like a dessert but it's not sweet. The law is usually used after the tax year to allow the Queen to prepare her speech and clarify the progress of the islands economy.
The Queen didn't look very happy, she couldn't say no because there is another law that stops her interfering with parliament. I would call that checkmate, she doesn't want to interfere with parliament or politics.
The other day, Boris moved the Poroguing interruption to the middle of the period between now and October, during September and he nested the period near to EU conference leaving the entire cabinet barely a few weeks to debate an legislate.
I'm guessing that he thinks that is the only way to break the deadlock, to shorten their time so they can't block his government and publish laws. To get brexit finished so we can move on.
Theresa May was playing poker with the opposition and they blocked her every move. Now Boris is playing chess. New player new game.
I have no idea what will happen in the next six months. I don't even think about it anymore.
