Peers and MPs returned today to debate lots of different things. In the House of Commons this morning, the mood was very testy. The most striking moments so far have been from Geoffrey Cox, the attorney-general. He was hauled up to the despatch box to explain why he told the prime minister proroguement was lawful when the Supreme Court said otherwise. This parliament is a dead parliament. It should no longer sit. Twice they have been asked to let the electorate decide upon whether they should continue to sit in their seats, while they block 17.4m people's votes. This parliament is a disgrace. The main supporting MPs who opposed the proroguement made their views known, and called on the prime minister once again to resign. No shame today. No shame at all. The fact that this government cynically manipulated a prorogation to shut down this House so that it couldn't work as a democratic assembly. He knows that that is the truth. And to come here with his barrister's bluster to obfuscate the truth, and for a man like him, a party like this, and a leader like this, this prime minister, to talk about morals and morality is a disgrace. In recent weeks, the prime minister has tried to call a general election twice. But he's failed to find that crucial two-thirds majority of MPs that are required through the fixed-term parliament at legislation. The government might now look to a different way of getting an election. They could pass a single line bill, a piece of legislation that forces an election on a particular date. That's something Mr Cox has talked about, and the prime minister might want to bring about in the next couple of days. If he does have that, then Britain will be heading to the polls once again to try and bring a solution to the Brexit crisis. It could be support for Boris Johnson and his approach for deal or no deal on October 31, or it could be Labour, who have now rallied fully behind a second referendum at their recent party conference. Either way, the exchanges in Westminster aren't going to get any quieter. It's clear MPs are in a mood for a fight, and the government is fighting back.
