Warning: nerdy constitutional law point. I'm just pondering over the Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Bill (as one does). The Lords introduced what are arguably wrecking amendments. They were rejected by Commons, insisted on by Lords, and rejected by Commons again. 1/

If you're working from home at a desk, sit with your feet in a washing up bowl of cold water. I can't describe how much better everything is now.

If the leadership election takes several months, such that Johnson would remain PM until October, and if that is considered unacceptable, it would be open for a vote of no confidence to be held in the House of Commons. /1
