Boris Johnson shut down Parliament for five weeks tonight after humiliatingly losing his latest bid to trigger a snap election.
The PM accused 'yellow belly' Jeremy Corbyn and Remainers of 'conniving to delay Brexit' - jibing that they 'can't hide forever' from the people's verdict.
After the result, he vowed that he will defy the 'device' of the new Remainer law against No Deal and stick to his 'do or die' vow to get the UK out by October 31.
Mr Johnson said opposition parties had decided they 'know better' than the public. He insisted he would go to an EU summit on October 17 and 'strive to get an agreement in the national interest... this government will not delay Brexit any further'.

I hope Boris kicks their asses when all is said and done!
I’m leaning toward Churchill and he came up large. Hope Boris Johnson has as much backbone.
Funny how Churchill’s grandson..or whatever he is..got bounced from the party by Bojo.
I want to have faith in Boris’ abilities, but isn’t his personal life in total disarray right now? Didn’t think that bode well...
I watched some of today’s proceedings via Periscope. Too bad I was cooking, I wanted to get down on my knees and thank God that we don’t have a Parliment....
And then some Dems’ faces flashed in from of me...hmmmm...who is worse?
And then I just watched 67thousand Brits and guests, filling Hyde Park, all singing “Bohemian Rhapsody”.
So, I like the Brits better than a whole awful lot of the Dems.
That’s all I care about.
Being turned to rubble by German air force and there was Still more hope than now.
Here’s praying the will of the people isn’t ignored again
It was kind of topsy turvy in 1066.
Shortly after Chamberlain came back from Germany waving a piece of paper?
The October 31 date was negotiated with the EU so how can Parliament pass a law to stop a no deal without the EU ,it’s really screwed up ,LOL
President Trump wishes he could do that to Congress.
I don’t really mean the economy.
I am talking about this mess in Parliament. It is a cluster#### with Bojo maybe ending up in jail over it.
1215, maybe.
The year King John assented to the Magna Carta.
Although it did not fully go into effect till around 1240, when one of his descendants pushed a more acceptable form through for the English Barons.
But didn't you say on that other thread "the wolves will attack the emerging leaders of the conservative movement and NOTHING is off limits: families (children!) , homes, jobs, etc..."?
I think you were right.
Yes this is true. So I give him benefit of the doubt. Timing is key though. For example, I’m glad Trump ran for President in 2016 as a settled, married man and not smack in the middle of a Marla Maples style scandal you know?
If Boris sticks to his guns, he will be a great hero.
If Johnson violated the latest parliamentary passed law and allowed Brexit to go ahead as of 10/31 with no deal, he might go to jail but he would be a patriot and I don’t think he’d be in jail for a long. But could the British courts step in to thwart him by declaring Brexit itself “illegal”?
