Parliament suspension a ‘smash-and-grab on democracy to force through a no-deal exit’, says Corbyn
Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday announced the suspension of Parliament in the final weeks before Britain’s EU departure date, enraging antiBrexit MPs.
Queen Elizabeth II has approved the request to close what has been the longest session of Parliament in nearly 400 years, and reopen it on October 14 setting out Mr. Johnson's fresh legislative programme.
Seemingly caught on the hop, incensed anti-Brexit MPs were left scrambling for a way to stop the move.
Mr. Johnson’s announcement came after six Opposition parties said on Tuesday they would first seek to legislate to prevent leaving the EU without a deal when Parliament returns from a summer recess next week.
Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the main Opposition Labour Party, has said he wants to call a vote of no-confidence in Mr. Johnson’s government, which commands a majority of just one seat.
