I know it's not high on anyone's list of priorities in Westminster right now, but briefly let's do #VONC and #Brexit

tl;dr short-term pause in hostile words/action, but scope for more grief

1/
While the vote is happening, no policy is happening, so mooted publication of NIP disapplication bill is on hold for now

2/
All the noises today have been about other aspects of Johnson's leadership, with both him and critics pushing 'Brexit got done', so it's not the main space for contestation

As the dust settles on the civilian coup here are a few key takeaways: 1) #IK has lost morally and politically. the #Opposition wanted the #selectedPM out and new elections, and this will happen. #IK dragged his feet but eventually this has been the result. 1/n
2) Beyond politics, #IK has now clearly undermined the #Constitution, the Supreme National Institution. Article 95 is a self contained provision, which gives the #Speaker no power once leave has been granted for #VoNC. A vote has to be done, no matter what. 2/n
3) Article 69 is about matters of procedure in Legislature and doesn't apply if the Speaker decides to throw out the Constitution itself. Imagine if the Speaker decides to not count the votes of Women or non-Muslim MNAs? Would that be allowed by the SC. 3/n
