Philip Hammond has said that MPs will move against the Government to stop no deal next week, and cannot wait until the scheduled debate on Brexit in late September.
Under the timetable set out by Boris Johnson, Parliament will not debate Brexit or the upcoming Queen's speech until October 21 and 22.
Mr Hammond said he had "always made clear that I am not interested in bringing down the Government" but that he wanted the Government to acknowledge that "the majority is opposed to a no deal Brexit.”

So that’s how you pronounce “Mitt Romney” in the UK!
Prorogue?
I never heard that word before.
I bet most of us haven’t.
I just learned a new word.
So this is what the Brit media were screeching about yesterday. I caught the gist of it but this helps a lot. Stand by for some world-class outrage.
>>> BREXIT >>>
All aboard!
Correct. The Queen may do it on the advice of the PM, or against the advice of the PM.
Now...it may trigger everyone to get hostile and try to pass some vote to remove this power, but I doubt that it’d pass, or even be considered by the House of Lords.
Behind all of this, I would suggest that another national election likely occurs before December. Neither the Tories or the Labour folks may like that idea.
2 1/2 years after voting to leave the EU, Britain is no closer to leaving than the day before they took the vote.
I think it is over three years now
They actually do it every year around this time, some weeks before the Queen’s Speech. It’s sort of like Congress going on recess. This is fake hysteria.
They Remain crowd will stop at nothing to ensure the UK’s servitude to global socialism.
The EU is one step away from disintegration if the UK can leave cleanly and thrive.
The remainiacs are melting down, “it’s a coup!!” - stating the “democracy is in danger!”...with the irony lost on them that they’re the ones trying to stop Brexit, a democratically decided action.
It’s not the same thing. Parliament is already in recess. Proroguation refers to ending a parliamentary session before setting up a new one with a new government legislative agenda as set out by a new Queens Speech. The current session has been on going since June 2017, the longest session, ironically enough, since the English civil war, so it is long overdue, making remoaners screams about this move being “unconstitutional” laughable.
The UK Politburo.
So it is like sine die?
Most likely not, unless they follow parliamentary styled governments. Now we have though. 8>)
Could someone run over and check if the ravens are still in the Tower?
