Strip away noise. This is what happened: Commons gave gov’t 18 of 24 months to get deal; then 3 months to present it. Gov’t overreached and stole another month, leaving only 2. Commons refused to reward this bad faith by giving the gov’t a TWENTY-THIRD month for its blackmail.
Bercow didn’t do this and didn’t say this. Parliament did. The Speaker merely facilitated a democratic vote for the House to express its sovereign will. The bad faith is all on the gov’t side. #BercowWasRight
The real disgrace is that we have a PM and an executive (one that failed to even secure a majority at the last election, no less), so autocratic and with such profound contempt for the legislature, it has reduced the Commons to such creative solutions in order to be heard.
