It was the privy council members at a meeting with the Queen that asked the Queen to prorogue parliament not Johnson. It was later found that the legal advice given to Johnson by the attorney general was flawed which is what the privy council based their decision on. May be the Met should send him a questionaire to fill in, he will say no one told him it was a party   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

That she lacks so much self awareness should be worrying in itself. I agree that Bercow should've gone. Now that the report into his behaviour has been published after he has left high office makes the debate somewhat academic. Priti Patel is still in high office, in spite of her lack of self awareness into her bullying behaviour. And you think she should stay?
