I have a some general questions - preferably for lawyers and constitutional experts.
If the government continues with an action that shows no discernible benefit to the country - and goes wholly against previous proclamation,
And does so WITHOUT parliamentary approval,
If the government continues with an action that shows no discernible benefit to the country - and goes wholly against previous proclamation,
And does so WITHOUT parliamentary approval,
Such as NOT seeking a transition extension
Is it in contempt?
If the government enters into contract or treaty with a foreign power to the known determent of the people,
And again, without parliamentary scrutiny,
Is this a legal action?
Do they cease to have legitimacy?

If a government fails to assemble a required body,
Such as the Intelligence and Security Committee,
In a timely fashion, such that it negatively affects the security of the nation,
Does this make them illegitimate as a government?
Or is this a treasonable issue?

Does failure to uphold the ministerial code with regard to its own ministers make the government illegitimate?

In essence - given all the foul actions taken by the Johnson administration, is there justification for calling of dissolution of the administration.
If there isn't - is all behaviour of the government beyond law and reliant solely on the integrity of government?
