Speaker welcomes MPs back to their 'place of work' - BBC News

The Speaker John Bercow starts by "welcoming MPs back to their place of work" - a greeting cheered by many in the chamber.

He goes on to say the record will be corrected to show that Parliament was not prorogued and was merely adjourned on 9 September.

Mr Bercow goes on to thank the Commons staff for their hard work in allowing Parliament to reconvene at such short notice.

He explains why there will be no Prime Minister's Questions but points out that there will be a number of ministerial statements.

This is the cue for the SNP's Joanna Cherry to ask Attorney General Geoffrey Cox to make a statement on the legal advice about the suspension of Parliament.

In these troubled times, there's nothing better than a well pronunced 'ORDAH!' from The honorable Mr. Speaker. Really.

work lives manageable.

So if boris acted unlawfully will the queen get nicked for "aiding and abetting"?

[皇帝ScottYee]

The big British TV network tried to cancel Brexit, but the public campaign to keep Brexit on the air worked.
During the supreme court hearings, I was waiting to type a comment about how TV executives tried to cancel Brexit, once they overruled BoJo. I was lazy and didn't have a funny comment to type, but here we are anyways.

[grigoryzinoviev]

Can someone explain this? Didn't the QUEEN technically prorogue parliament? How can the court overturn that?
