I just want someone with the same respect for Parliament, and its' role!! Someone who can perhaps piss both sides off equally, might be the right choice! He/she is not there to be popular, but to make sure that back benchers/Opposition are able to perform their proper role - and Govt to make it's legislative case!! The fact that the Conservative Party/Govt turned against him, stands in his favour, as far as I am concerned! I doubt we will get as strong a person as Bercow has been to be honest!!

Now it seems Bojo took Acuri to Tel Aviv - I think he now has a lot of explaining to do to some people very close to him if it is true!!

The court of sessions in Scotland has been told that government documents say that if no withdrawal agreement is reached with the EU the PM will seek an extension to Article 50 by no later than 19th Oct.

If that is what thy are committing to in court then failure to do so would be contempt of court. I'm wary however as there have been rumours that they may have asked Hungary to veto any extension.

talk he will write one letter then write another saying ignore the first letter

That sounds like it would be contempt as well. I expect that will be discussed in the court case

Indeed the Hungarian Foreign Minister and Ambassador were seen leaving The Cabinet Office this morning at 11:05 at the exact same time Johnson was holding an emergency cabinet meeting

Doe he want to finish Brexit or not by the 31st?

The simple answer is fuck knows, nothing he says is remotely trustworthy, lets see if he gets banged up, seeing as he thinks he's above the law.

I bet even if he is banged he'd still want to run the country!!
