It more or less gives the government the right to do whatever the hell it wants, albeit with some limited Parliamentary oversight.

Frankly, all thoughts of an authoritarian coup seem to require a belief in the organisational competence of the Tories and the civil service which has been seriously absent in the last few years. Any party which has used chris Grayling for anything more complicated than as a doorstop is not a threat. They can make the attempt but it's all very wicked witch of the west, the harder they try, the more stupid they look. Boris Johnston is not Emperor Palpatine and Domnnic Cummings is not Darth Vader, however much they pretend. keep to the Fen Causeway
It's going to be fun when the EU has to figure out how to deploy French forces to the Irish border to provide security.
Or is this protocol in the law of war only for other people's "inter-communal conflict"? Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
Between the Irish, the English, the French, and the Dutch, we'd have the makings of a first-class 17C war.

Just like the Jesuits leading the Conquistadors, the Conquest of the New World. Recall Iraq, George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and the Biblical verses in support of the invasion and occupation. Global Warming - distance between America and Europe is steadily increasing.
Boris Johnson's controversial enforcer, Dominic Cummings, an architect of Brexit and a fierce critic of Brussels, is co-owner of a farm that has received 250,000 (£235,000) in EU farming subsidies, the Observer can reveal. The revelation is a potential embarrassment for the mastermind behind Johnson's push to leave the EU by 31 October. Since being appointed as Johnson's chief adviser, Cummings has presented the battle to leave the EU as one between the people and the politicians. He positions himself as an outsider who wants to demolish elites, end the "absurd subsidies" paid out by the EU and liberate the UK from its arcane rules and regulations. But his critics say the revelation that Cummings has benefited from the system he intends to smash underscores how many British farmers are reliant on EU money that would evaporate if the UK leaves.

If his nerve gives out, or he is defeated in a no confidence vote and can't hold his plan together, or is slipped an unwanted Article 50 extension by the EU, his chances of getting into the textbooks is as a footnote to May.
