This mock outrage about how Boris "lied to the Queen" is doing my head in. All very gammon-y, surprised at a few. Jo Swinson's face contorted in a mask of disgust as she said it earlier on.
As far as I've been led to understand, the Queen doesn't exactly have a right to be convinced about a request to prorogue, the Privy Council just ask her permission and she says aye. At least, that was according to Lord Hope on the day of the Court of Sessions verdict.
The PM and his acolytes have misrepresented this prorogation to parliament, and to the public - this is enough to be disgusted about. To attempt to make the situation seem worse by exaggerating the extent to which it's an offence to our collective consciousness to lie to the Queen is pure theatre, and more what we've all come to associate with Francois, JRM, Gove, and the rest of they c***s.
