I suspect it's a fine line, and political motives were at play. But I thought from the word go that prorogation was risky.
The decision to prorogue has backfired spectacularly. Not just because it has been found to be unlawful, but because the opposition got wind of it in time to legislate against No Deal anyway.. Johnson is ****ed and there's no way he's going to get a GE until after Article 50 has been extended further. He should sack Cummings immediately. Rees-Mogg and Cox (whose advice has been mysteriously leaked) should go too.
