Boris Johnson was determined to prevent anti-Brexit MPs thwarting his efforts to get Brexit done.

He vowed to suspend parliament to prevent them.

He made the most controversial decision of his premiership wearing Bermuda shorts, black work shoes and formal socks.

Prorogation usually lasted less than a week , two at the most.

Prime Minister asked attorney-general to withhold information from his cabinet.

Attorney-general was uncomfortable with the request but considered the position Johnson had put him in.

Attorney General Cox said he could not put the genie back in the bottle.

As far as Johnson was concerned it was a decision-making cabinet and ministers decided in his favour.

Eadie and MacNamara exchanged a look as they debated the wording of the letter which must be sent.

Cummings was adamant, “Well we just won’t send it” Gesturing at Johnson , he added: “They can put you in jail.” The Queen ’s reaction was actually more sanguine than some.
