Prior post: "Looking at the letter and the terms of the proroguing of parliament, it's actually clear that Boris is not focussed on parliament and its pointless expressions of opinion for which there is no majority as seen previously.
He is actually thinking about his negotiation with the EU. He needs them to know the countdown clock has begun and they need to start talking as if we are on the final lap. Otherwise they will continue to try to block progress through its friends in parliament."
In discussion with his cabinet, Boris has confirmed this is the case.
