One anti-no-deal Brexit MP has raised the prospect of a plan to create an alternative parliament to try and stop a new prime Minister pursuing a no-deal WTO Brexit, by proroguing parliament.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT A FULL TRANSCRIPT!!
Recent Tory leadership candidate, Rory Stewart, who surprised many with his success during the rounds, says he would help to organise an alternative parliament, possibly operating out of The Church House in Westminster, that would fight against a no deal exit from the European Union (EU) should a new PM prorogue parliament in an attempt to prevent MPs obstructing it.
He also says that they could possibly recruit a former Speaker of the House of Commons, such as Betty Boothroyd, to oversee the sessions.
And, on any new Prime Minister, like Boris Johnson, proroguing parliament to stop MPs blocking a no deal Brexit, Rory Stewart said:
"I think it does not work. I would simply work with colleagues simply to organise another parliament across the road. That sounds quite Civil War-ist, but that is what happened in 2002 when Blair tried not to have a vote on the Iraq war. MPs were invited to Church House, and Blair backed down. I got into a lot of trouble when I first proposed this, though it’s just a fact that parliament is not about [the] building. We can certainly find a retired Speaker to chair this."
So, the plan would be what exactly?
Get all the Remainer MPs into an outside venue and debate and pass laws to keep the UK in the EU?
To be even halfway legitimate they'd need to open access to all MPs.
And isn't the Sp..
