  Crisis, what crisis? Parliament continues to have confidence in the government because it has not voted to the contrary - a vote of no-confidence.
  
  Although Mr Johnson reckoned there was sufficient time to debate a Brexit on Halloween, the Supreme Court ruled there should be more time including (or, arguably, particularly) for that sort of thing and so the Brexit debate can now go to extra time:
  
  "Lady Hale said: 'This prolonged suspension of Parliamentary democracy took place in quite exceptional circumstances: the fundamental change which was due to take place in the Constitution of the United Kingdom on 31st October.
  
  'Parliament, and in particular the House of Commons as the elected representatives of the people, has a right to a voice in how that change comes about.'"
  
  Whoopee-do, back to you guys then! Anyone for Theresa May's deal being brought before a new parliament?
  
  (NB: As it happens, I do have two deckchairs but if you think I'm putting that lot in charge of the second one, you have another think coming!)
