“The elites are in revolt against the people”, as someone has said.
Boris has to stiffen his spine and refuse to have the bill signed by the Queen. The Parliament will be going into recess on Monday and all Bills will be dead.
Here is what I am hearing on other sites:
Parliament could be prorogued as early as Monday, based on the royal proclamation issued last month. If the rebel legislation has not been passed by the time of prorogation, it is automatically wiped out.
Parliament will not sit again until October 14, after the party conferences.
If Parliament is suspended next week as planned, rebel MPs cannot advance their plot any further for five weeks.
If their Bill has failed or is still pending, it will ‘die’ and have to be started again after the prorogation.
In the meantime, Mr Johnson will push for a deal from fellow European leaders in the hope of removing the backstop from the withdrawal deal negotiated by Theresa May.
MPs will then reconvene on October 14. First there will be a Queen’s Speech and ceremonial State Opening of Parliament.
Rebel MPs could make a second attempt to force a delay but their time would be extremely limited and there would be no more time to schedule an election before October 31.

Brexiteer lords are going to do anything they can to hold up the remainer bill.
Right, MPs have rejected a GE. De facto, they approve of the current Government. Boris will, I think, now not recommend to the Queen any legislation passed by the House he does not like (i.e. The further delay Bill). No Royal Assent, no Law.
A reminder that Blair did this kind of block three times.
The only way to remove the PM’s block is a VoNC, which can basically be asked for at any time.
I’m sure Boris and the Moggster (Lord President of Privy Council) will remind the Queen that the House can pass a VoNC any time they like if they don’t like his block. This will result in the GE Boris has asked for anyway.
The opposition are stuffed. The Remainers are stuffed. The EU is stuffed.
Several of those booted out of the Tory Party looked quite shocked - they are idiots. Boris needed a minority to make his point about the VoNC valid.

Furthermore, if Boris simply doesn’t recommend the further delay Bill to the Queen and Sep 10th rolls along, the House is prorogued, and when they come back a VoNC will be too late to have a GE before Hallowe’en anyway.
Game, Set, Match to Brexit.
The Guardian is a UK leftwing rag.

Like in WWII the UK is fighting for it’s life but this time it has already been invaded
The lords would need to filibuster only 120 hours using a tag team. Surely they can do this and prevent corwyn from putting the monarchy at risk of a bremainer revenge mob? But It sounds as if corwyn and co. suspect the bill will never get that far. More kabuki?
Boris needs to re-open the Tower of London
Our Father, we ask that you intervene in the Parliament and by other means to free Britain from the twisted, pro-globalist EU and return sovereignty to the British people and national government.
Amen!
