What do Boris Johnson's own Cabinet Ministers think about him closing Parliament down asks Emily Coy

Prorogation?

Michael Gove - "It would not be true to the best traditions of British democracy" 9^th June 2019

Sajid Javid - "You don't deliver on democracy by trashing democracy." 16^th June 2019

Nicky Morgan - "Proroguing Parliament is clearly a mad suggestion…You cannot say you are going to take back control…..and then go - Oh by the way are just going to shut Parliament down……." 6^th June 2019.

Matt Hancock- "Prorogation would mean the end of the Conservative Party……To suspend Parliament explicitly to pursue a course of action against its wishes is not a serious policy of a prime minister in the 21^st century." 6^th June 2019

Amber Rudd - "To consider closing Parliament is the most extraordinary idea I've ever heard. It is a ridiculous suggestion. For a start it would involve approaching the Queen…nobody should consider doing that." 16^th June 2019

Unfortunately only one of these five Cabinet Ministers, Amber Rudd who has resigned, has stuck by what they believe. For the others it seems to be a clear case case of 'these are my principles but I'll change them if you don't like them.'
