Your coups tonight

There will be lots more attempts to 'seize control' of Parliament, the Graun says, probably approvingly:

Opposition MPs are planning to seize control of parliament next week potentially forcing the disclosure of more government documents, bringing a motion to censure Boris Johnson and strengthening legislation against a no-deal Brexit.

The common purpose is clear:

A Plaid Cymru source said opposition MPs were getting on better than expected. “It surprises all of us how easy these meetings are,” they said.

As we have always known -- stopping Brexit overrides all other considerations. But what is the constitutional position exactly? Who is actually responsible if there are (unintended) consequences from these actions, including financial ones? Who answers Parliamentary questions about them? How do they relate to party manifestos and election pledges?
