Remember that time Matt Hancock said prorogation would go against "everything that those men who waded onto those beaches fought and died for"....?
And that time the current Work and Pensions Sec Amber Rudd said:
"I think it's outrageous to consider proroguing Parliament. We are not Stuart kings."

And another cabinet member:
Nicky Morgan came out in support of John Major's threat of legal action to block prorogation in July

@PaulBrandITV Important to note there's a bit of wiggle room for these cabinet ministers.

They can argue that it hardly extends conference recess and still leaves enough time to debate Brexit before/afterwards
@PaulBrandITV And here's Michael Gove on Marr
"Proroguing parliament in order to try and get no deal through I think would be wrong...It would not be true to the best traditions of British democracy."

(h/t @laurencesleator for this one!)
@PaulBrandITV @laurencesleator And from our current Chancellor in response to @krishgm:
“You don’t deliver on democracy by trashing democracy.

"To suggest you would suspend parliament and put an end to our sovereign democracy...is just not right and we can’t do that"
