Stephen Bush outlined how there is "sufficient time", despite the prorogation, for parliament to legislate to prevent a no-deal Brexit (A week to stop no deal. No excuses, 30/08/19). That might well be true, but the opposition groups should not expect an easy ride. As soon as they began to form plans for legislation last week, Cummings moved forward the intention to suspend parliament, so you can guarantee he has his next move already worked out.
What`s the betting, if it looks like the opposition`s bill might succeed, Johnson will call an election to take place before October 31st? Cummings is probably planning the campaign now, with Johnson standing as the man of the people, the only politician capable of carrying out the referendum`s result, and defeating the anti-democracy and anti-Brexit fearmongers!
We can only hope there are some capable of joined-up thinking in the ranks of the opposition groups, being able to predict what might happen, and to match Cummings!
