With frustrations running high, today's sitting in parliament was always going to be rumbustious, and so it proved. We were back following the Supreme Court's ruling that proroguing parliament was unlawful. I am not going to argue the rights and wrongs of the decision itself, except to say that is now the law and clearly it must be respected. Dealing with a heavily Remain-orientated parliament over the past three years has proved tiring to the extreme, and I'm not talking about myself, but about the 17.4 million voters whose wishes have still not been implemented. Worse, they are being intentionally thwarted by those who will do anything to prevent our departure from the EU. The House came together at 1130 and there followed many hours of debate, as first we waded through two Urgent Questions ((advice given to the Queen and Hacker House), followed by five Statements (Thomas Cook, Brexit readiness, Iran, PM and finally Business). The excellent Attorney General, Geoffrey Cox QC, set the tone, with a blistering attack on parliament in general, saying it was "dead" and had no right to be sitting as the democratic will of the people was not being respected. His rich, baritone voice cut through the whimpering from Opposition Benches, and laid bare the coward that Corbyn is for not facing us in a general election. The mood certainly darkened when the PM began his Statement. Clearly, Opposition MPs were out to get him, and he had every right to fight back, and fight back he did, and well. The dreadful Benn Bill, which seriously undermines the PM's negotiating position with the EU, was consistently referred to as the 'surrender bill', which is absolutely right. It is. But some Opposition MPs did not like that and began challenging the PM's use of language. I'm afraid the Chamber can sometimes be a bear-pit and MPs must be strong enough to cope with pugnacious debate. Regrettably, the murdered Jo Cox was brought into the debate by Opposition MPs, when she should not have been. We were all appalled at her murder, as this sort of thing could happen to any one of us, but Mr Johnson was never going to able to respond in a way to satisfy those bringing Jo Cox into a rowdy Chamber, and feelings began to run high. To be fair to the Speaker, he made it clear that there was no impropriety by the PM in his use of language, although he did ask all sides of the House to think carefully before speaking. The problem is that this Brexit issue has been going on for far too long now and people are not stupid and see an arrogant and out of touch parliament thwarting their will. The PM was standing up for them and for democracy last night, after years of taking delay and obstruction from those intent on keeping us in the EU. What a day.
