Brexit Deal: Boris Johnson Moves To Suspend Parliament Until Oct 14
United Kingdom’s Prime Minister, Boris Johnson has sought the permission of the Queen to suspend parliament from mid-September until October 14 — just two weeks before the UK is set to leave the EU — enraging anti-Brexit MPs.
Naija News understands that this might be a plot by Boris’s Government to stop the Nations parliamentarians hindering a no-deal Brexit.
MPs will return to London later than in recent years, giving pro-EU lawmakers less time than expected to thwart Johnson’s Brexit plans before Britain is due to leave the European Union on October 31.
“We’re going to do it on October 14,” Johnson told reporters.
He is due to attend one last European Union summit three days later.
“There will be ample time on both sides of that crucial October 17 summit, ample time in parliament for MPs to debate,” Johnson said.
