Start of stage 2
Article 17 of the Treaty on European Union means the EU will “not be legally constituted on 1 November” without a UK commissioner, it says.
Brussels could try to reduce the number of commissioners from 28, one for each state, but the UK would have a veto which it would use unless the EU bent to its will.
No 10 accepts Mr Johnson would be breaking the law if he refused to seek the extension parliament will demand – but believes events will not reach that stage, because the EU would be forced to back down first.
UK political shitshow

I think Amber is in agreement with you. It's a shadowy cabal running the country.springrain wrote: ↑Sat Sep 07, 2019 10:00 pmI think most of that is spot on. You're dead right in that much false conspiracy stuff is, indeed, put out deliberately to confuse us - and, to give them more credence when they call us 'conspiracy nuts' and so on.
That's why I always try to cross-refer and check things out for myself. It is tiring work, but will be worth it.
Anyway, if anyone's interested, I've made a quick overview of how 'New Labour' was a work that had been planned for a number of years. It'll be up in a bit.
Amber Rudd has claimed it is unclear who is running the country following her shock resignation from the government.
The former work and pensions secretary said she did not think the cabinet was having “proper discussions about policy”.
When asked who was running the country, if not the cabinet, she told The Andrew Marr Show: “If I knew that I would have perhaps had further conversations with the prime minister or them.”
Apparently, taking on the EU by refusing to take office is not the plan. It's now fighting the new law in the courts...
Up the workers!

Would a no deal Brexit pass the Wednesbury unreasonableness test?
"So outrageous in its defiance of logic or accepted moral standards that no sensible person who had applied his mind to the question to be decided could have arrived at it."

Corbyn,. "Labour will unleash the biggest people-powered campaign ever seen".
Hang on to your pith helmets expats. He wants to offer your house, which you've been making a fortune off, to your tenants at a reduced rate.
Very novel.
The Telegraph are backing him over Johnson as well.

The funny thing is the remain voters that voted for him breaking the law. Obviously so they could see him banged up.

Fweeet Fwuuu!!
"I beg you, as Labour's leader, to reject a policy that will so obviously turn our country into a laboratory for one of the most extreme rightwing experiments we have witnessed since the 1930s." She had claimed to not be a committed Europhile; that her role came about from having legal training, a job in investment management, and "years of campaigning for transparency and accountability".
She claimed concern that experienced, senior politicians appeared not to know that only Parliament can take away from people rights that Parliament had granted, and were instead proposing to trigger withdrawal from the EU without parliamentary authority, by using the royal prerogative, which she described as "an ancient self-serving right that Kings and Queens once used to rid themselves of their enemies". She claimed it was not the idea of Brexit that filled her with dread, but "the idea of an unchallenged, unanswerable government taking us back to 1610 and ripping a hole through our democratic structures".
Up the workers!
