Queen seeking to sack Johnson

Interesting times indeed

I see Dominic Grieve has stated that the Queen will be forced to sack Johnson if he refuses to apply to extend Article 50.

I wish she would!

I disagree - Whitewave comes across as very intelligent, confident and insightful.

Do you find it difficult to hear opposing views about Brexit? You seem very angry.

Replacing the lying, violence-inciting, women-molesting, Parliament-suspending, philandering, racist, rule-of-law denying, Queen-offending Charlatan is not merely desirable for our democracy, it is essential.

Some other sources of the news story for you oopsminty if those articles are too odd for you.

I would imagine her advisors are simply establishing the options open to them should Boris and his low life chums ever try and pull a stunt like that again.

She does need to know what the situation is, surely? It doesn't mean she's actively trying to sack Boris Johnson!

Hi mostlyharmless. I believe that inews is a newspaper. Based in London apparently. Not that it really matters. There's an awful lot of stuff on the Internet. We can always find something to suit.

The Queen sought advice in case it became necessary to sack Johnson if he refuses to carry out Parliament’s order to extend Article 50. Which he repeatedly has said he will not do.
The detailed legal advice given is in Whitewave’s link - it’s not a newspaper article oopsminty.

Very odd article.

""It is understood that while there have been discussions between Downing Street and the Palace about the constitution and the Queen’s role, it would not be the case that the monarch would take it upon herself to dismiss a prime minister or advise him or her to step down.

However, i understands that any discussions did not relate to an active attempt by the Queen and her most senior advisors to sack Mr Johnson.""

I don't think the Queen will be losing any sleep about this.

The Queen apparently took advice because she was put in a situation that had never happened before in all of her reign, and, as far as I am aware, hadn't happened for a 100 years or so.

The PM was trying to shut down Parliament so as to avoid scrutiny and he was using the Queen to do it.

That was a very insightful post joelsnan?

This might help Her Maj.

Saw that and thought why does the queen, who has reigned for 60 odd years need anyone to tell her how to do her job?

Next we will be hearing that BJs dog is asking to be adopted.
