Terrified MPs - convinced that Boris Johnson will go for no deal - will vote for a deal with a gun to their head.
While technically correct, it is…a generous interpretation.
Likewise, the parliamentary furniture of the Queen's Speech will consume much of the debating time in late October, which would have been available to discuss and frustrate a no-deal Brexit.Make no mistake, this isn't about routine parliamentary procedure, nor introducing a new government's programme for office - it is about limiting parliament's ability to interfere with the government's Brexit plans.
The contour of their plan now seems obvious to me: survive the first few weeks of September, scramble their opponents and prevent them from limiting their room for manoeuvre, ride out the conference recess and get to the European Council summit on 17 October. Remainers think the much fabled"Cooper-Letwin" bill, which legally compelled Mrs May to seek an extension to Article 50, avoided a no deal in the spring.
