The clear reason he called for the 4th July is that that gives him the summer to move to the US and get his kids in their new school in time for the next school year. Government business has nothing to do with it.

I don't think there are many pro tory people left. Lots of anti labours, so disaffected tory voters will find homes in reform and lib dems. It will be carnage, there needs to be some hard introspection and deliberate harm to portions of the voter base to change the direction of the country. Potential voters affected: Elderlys, Near retirements, immigrants, young families, Medically ills, and typical earners. with policies in order: Triple lock abolished, retirement age increased, boarder controls to be enforced/no hotel housing for new arrivals, decreased support for childcare, Reductions to NHS spending, increased taxes to pay for services. Continuing in the direction we have will only create more poverty for everyone and a worst living condition than seen in 100 years. Selecting a group to F over may seem harsh but it needs to happen. we cannot borrow when we have such a stagnant economy, and it seems that every group list above is suffering.

Massive props on the speed you guys turned this video around 👏

Just to clear up the terminology for the UK Parliament. A Parliament is divided into 4-5 annual sessions. After all sessions are completed, Parliament is Dissolved. Prorogation is the suspension of Parliament. It happens at the end of a Parliamentary Session to allow them, 'to clear the decks' for the new session. Prorogation is also used as a prelude to Dissolution. The aim is to wind up that Parliament. You can have Hold Over Bills, when at the end of a Parliamentary session, but not Dissolution. This is because if a new government is elected, it would be against the principles of democracy to force the bills from the old government which were just voted out of office. Dissolution is when Parliament literally ceases to exist and the power it holds is returned to the people. This power is expressed by the people in the form of an election. After which a new Parliament is summoned by the Monarch. Therefore, Prorogation and Dissolution are two different things. This can be seen in this election as there are two separate dates for the two different instances. Prorogation: 24 May. Dissolution: 30 May.

The lead to Brilliant via Tory MPs was brilliant.
