Johnson can kill it by rrefusig to send it to the queen.

Okay, but the article also says there's a mechanism whereby Parliament can block the PM from doing that.

Do you think they will?

Boris will refuse to take Bill to Queen and there nothing Parliament can do to make him take any Bill to Queen, short of another election which cannot happen during this session...they have run out of time. Boris has em by the bullocks.

I don’t see anything in the article that says that, can you quote the part you are referring to?

Johnson can sit on the bill or he can tell the queen to deny royal assent and the only thing parliament could do is to pass a vote of no confidence which would give Johnson an election, by the time the election was over it would be impossible to go through the process again to stop Brexit even if the remainers won.
