No need to refer to them as comedy columns when the whole publication is somewhere between Beano and Viz.
But yeah, Cummings has to wear this one just like Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill. In fact if he doesn't depart, it makes it harder for BloJo to remain, so to speak!

Agreeing to a general election before ensuring a referendum would be up there with the daftest things to do during the whole process.
That sense talking Irishman Ronan McCrea suggested on the radio earlier, that the opposition could be accused of acting unconstitutionally by not now agreeing to a General Election, because Boris will say he wanted one rather than the prorogation he was forced into and that HM Loyal Opposition are in fact paralyzing the system.
An interesting thought, but probably speaks to the point that the FTP Act and really the whole constitution of the UK is a bit of a joke.
I guess HM Govt could always appeal to the European Court

Did he not announce the prorogation *before* the order paper takeover and demand for an election that followed?0 -

But at the moment the opposition parties have a majority, all they don't have is the PM title.
They don't need a general election to take control, just a vote of no confidence and organise themselves properly behind someone (Ken Clarke just tweeted that he's going to be in the HoC bar getting drunk and to let him know when he is needed). Then they just properly put the next direction of Brexit shenanigans to bed by getting the extension from the EU and calling a referendum on remain or the only other option which is Mays deal (where the backstop line is drawn can be argued on later).
Can have the referendum and the general election on the same day, and just need to give the EU a few days notice then in the event of the leave option being picked.0 -
