• Profile: John Bercow, the voice that calls for order in the "chicken coop" of Westminster

"The House of Commons will not let time run until no deal arrives , " said the president of the British Chamber, John Bercow, on Tuesday, in his participation in the Edinburgh Fringe festival. There he has offered a colloquium, directed by Susan Morrison, entitled: 'Speaking clearly'.

Bercow's has been a relaxed talk , with the room full of public and with time to make reference to its origins and the way in which it holds the position. The president of Parliament has pointed out that Westminster "will not allow" the 'premier', Boris Johnson, to let time pass until Halloween night (October 31). Bercow has openly positioned itself against one of the likely strategies taken by the new leader of the British Executive for the exit of the European Union.

On September 3, the British Parliament will begin the course again with an important subject pending resolution: the approval of the United Kingdom withdrawal agreement from the European Union that the former Prime Minister, Theresa May, signed last month of November after more than two years of negotiation, and that his successor, Boris Johnson, seeks to renegotiate with a view to saving the stumbling block of the Irish safeguard . The point is untouchable for the community group, which proclaims that "it will not be renegotiated" - as Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar insisted, just a few days ago.

The objective of the leader of the British Executive is to stop being part of the group of 28, "with or without agreement", of not being able to renegotiate the agreement agreed at the end of last year. For this, one of the options considered by the conservative leader is to let time pass or even call for a parliamentary extension that would mean the end of the Chamber's activity .

Parliament would be looking to regain control , with the help of the president and some conservative rebel representative. Specifically, Michael Grieve or Philip Hammond are against this catastrophic drift that would result in the departure without agreement of the European Union by the beginning of the second week of the parliamentary course.

The Scottish Justice has admitted this morning the legal recourse submitted by a total of 75 House representatives from different groups -laboristas, liberal-democrats, the Scottish Nationalist Party- and the Good Law Project group in order to prevent Johnson may decide to close the Parliament and thus allow the United Kingdom to leave the EU on 31 October without agreement . They argue that it would be illegal to close the House of Commons so that it does not block its intention to leave the European bloc without agreement.

The judge of the Court of Edinburgh, Lord Doherty, agreed to speed up the process to assess whether Johnson has this capacity and has set the trial to begin next Friday, September 6 , taking into account the proximity of the Brexit date.

For the director of the Good Law Project, Jolyon Maugham , the situation is very clear: "A man without a mandate - Boris Johnson - seeks to boycott Parliament for fear that it will prevent him from inflicting an involuntary audience on a result for which he did not vote and not you want, "he said.
