In which case they are foolish.
What is described here as “constitutionally intolerable” is the idea that the Queen could refuse Royal Assent to an Act passed by Parliament against the wishes of the government.
But for the PM to advise the Queen to do so would be to breach one of the basic political rules of our constitution: don’t force the Queen to take a controversial decision.
See here for a concise explanation (there are further posts on the site on this topic by @ProfMarkElliott). publiclawforeveryone.com/2019/04/03/roy…
It is also likely that any attempt to advise the Queen in that way would be challenged in the courts.

“I can’t be bothered to deal with the practicalities of my policy as I am sure there’s a technological solution somewhere” is not a good project management technique.
I don’t even think it’s approved anywhere on Cummings’ blog.
Looks as if crash out Belarus Brexit is going to require a couple of further volumes of this excellent book. amazon.co.uk/Blunders-Our-G…

Worth re-reading @hhesterm’s thread again. TLDR: “WTO law” isn’t much help in your argument with a customs officer or inspector on a wet Wednesday afternoon in Calais or Pettigo.
And if you go down the threads you will find a further good thread by @nvonwestenholz and finally a couple by me from a year ago, which still hold true.
And this from @StevePeers is also good.

Forget Brexit for a moment. Can I recommend (having seen it last night) @FulhamOpera’s production of Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, at the Greenwood Theatre near London Bridge.
Tickets for the last performance on Saturday here. fulhamopera.com/tickets
It’s a reduced orchestra - but the benefit is that you hear bits of Wagner’s orchestration and contrapuntal writing that you may not have noticed before, even if you think you know this marvellous score.

“The bill was passed in spite of over a decade of resistance by the unholy alliance of the Catholic Church, Agudath Israel of America and other groups, like the Boy Scouts.” frumfollies.wordpress.com/2019/08/14/the…
“What these groups have in common are long histories of covering up sex abuse and allowing it to fester in their institutions.”
“They also all share the trait of being cheap bums who do not want to properly admit their misconduct and properly repent by doing what they can to make the victims whole, of which one aspect is financial compensation for harm and the costs of healing.”

1. If you do a Google search for "buckingham palace boy climbs out of window naked" the top search results will call it a "viral hoax video." They'll even link to "proof."

Hoax or not, in this thread I will show you what really goes on in Buckingham Palace. #ThesePeopleAreSick
2. The boy climbing out of window was around February 27, 2015.

Estimated: 90 days earlier...

A 16 year old boy said there was a VIP pedophile ring inside Buckingham Palace and he would awaken to screaming in the night.

1/ Amidst the latest attempt by Parliament to take some control over the Brexit agenda from the executive, a short thread on contradictory Brexity arguments about the UK parliament compared to the European Parliament.
2/ Among many false Brexity claims about the European Parliament, you sometimes see the (mostly) accurate claim that the European Parliament cannot initiate legislative proposals. (There are a handful of exceptions to the rule).
3/ Brexiters proceed from this mostly accurate claim to assert that therefore "the European Parliament is not a real Parliament, unlike Westminster". The flaw with this argument is that in practice the executive controls Parliament's agenda. Private members bills need govt time.

As commentators seem to have been reluctant to access what we actually wrote in full, before reacting with incredulity to what they imagine my views to be, here’s a thread with the argument 1/11
The Royal Assent question is not about how that mechanism is supposed to operate under the
current dispensation - because what Letwin, Bercow & co are proposing is to rip that up 2/11
But it is worth saying that those who say that it is absolutely clear what the Govt should do and how HM should respond are quite wrong. It’s the subject of enormous academic controversy 3/11

Ok. So here goes an attempt to summarise where May is leading the U.K. with her Chequers plan.

First, it can’t of escaped anyone even remotely interested in politics that the Chequers proposal is universally hated by all sides. 1/
Labour have announced they’ll vote against it (they’ll vote against any deal as it’s an opportunity to force an election) so with a minority government the PM needs a deal with full party unity. This is where she’s made a huge mistake. 2/
Before Chequers, she had around 8 guaranteed “rebels” to worry about, the EU withdrawal act passed through parliament relatively unscathed showing the unity in the original position set out in Lancaster house (an amazing effort by @SteveBakerHW as well getting that through) 3/

One of the momentous things in dot-com history we are, uhh, "privileged" to witness in real time is Facebook's shift from Schumpeterian monopoly to Ricardian monopoly. In ten years, business school cases will be written about this stuff...
This isn't the first of course. Microsoft maneuvered itself into the same position ca. 1999, and the verdict back then was MS is irrelevant now that it missed the whole internet thing and is just flailing around, but MS never stopped being a hugely profitable key player.
There's others, but the key lesson learned should be: you can coast on cruise control for quite some time, 20 years plus apparently, when you can milk Ricardian rents. And that's a problem.
