25 September 2019It is still wall to wall in London on divorce from the European Union, scheduled for 31 October. Defy me and let's go to the elections or "step aside" on the road to Brexit. It was not in any way a defensive Boris Johnson that the British Parliament faced defiantly, at times provocative, tonight after the reopening of Westmister imposed yesterday to the Tory government by the Supreme Court of the Kingdom. An earthquake that the prime minister took from the front, with the usual attitude and how nothing had happened, unleashing the claque of his party's belly and the furious reactions of the rest of the classroom in a climate of bedlam.

Johnson repeated that the Kingdom will leave the EU on October 31 "possibly with an agreement", which he says Brussels is now willing to at least "discuss", but it will come out anyway. He then attacked what he called "a paralyzed Parliament" and "a zombie opposition" that "does not trust the people", does not want to "respect the 2016 referendum result and is afraid to return to the polls now . Then he concluded with the boldness of all time: "The people of this country have had enough. This Parliament must step aside" and allow "Brexit to be made" or "present a motion of no confidence and finally face the judgment day of before the voters ".

Words of fire to which Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn tried to respond in kind, like others, indicating the resignation of Theresa May's successor as "the only honorable thing to do". "For the good of the country, go away", he replied with a harsh face, without yet collecting the challenge on the vote for now: at least until the country has asked for an extension of the Brexit beyond the end of October in the absence of agreements.

The explosive verdict with which the Supreme Court yesterday humiliated BoJo declaring "illegal and null" the suspension of the Chambers promoted by the executive two weeks ago took its course. The doors of the building reopened 20 days ahead of what Johnson would have liked. The hall of the Municipalities is back in session between the ovations of the opposition benches to the rebel speaker John Bercow. But in the end the wall against the wall remains exactly as before. On the one hand the front of no, which reproaches Johnson for having "deceived the queen and the country", but continues to take time in an attempt to keep the government slapped. From the other Johnson, in the minority among the deputies and at the corner from the legal point of view, but still in the saddle. A Johnson who swears that he is still busy negotiating an (at the moment unbelievable) agreement with Brussels, deprived of the contested backstop to guarantee the very delicate Irish open border, but that puts before all the imperative to respect the democratic will sanctioned by the referendum and in any case take the country out of the Union at the end of October, in spite of the anti-no-deal law already approved in Westminster.

For the government, moreover, the node can be dissolved only in this way or with the use of early elections as soon as possible, as Johnson confirmed tonight, absorbing headlong the barrage of complaints of a burning assembly. Not without repeating to the machine to "respect" the verdict of the Court, but to consider "wrong" the arguments of the judges.
