Shocked members of the public have widely shared the footage and have expressed their disgust
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.
Constitutional Law detail here (bottom half):

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 swamp of Britain is even worse !
Hardly. Boris can just block the Remoaners by advising the Queen not to give Royal Assent.
If anybody complains, he can just remind them that they can have a vote of no confidence and hold a general election if they wish.
Checkmate. Brexit goes ahead OR put the issue before the voters in a general election. Those are your only two options.
Hi.
