UK PM To Suspend Parliament Until Oct 14.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Wednesday that the suspension of parliament would be extended until October 14 — just two weeks before the UK is set to leave the EU — enraging anti-Brexit MPs.
“There will be ample time on both sides of that crucial October 17 summit, ample time in parliament for MPs to debate,” Johnson said. A source in Johnson’s Downing Street office insisted that only around four sitting days in the lower House of Commons would be lost as a result.By convention it is suspended for the annual conferences of the three main parties.
Tom Watson, deputy leader of the main opposition Labour Party, said: “This action is an utterly scandalous affront to our democracy. We cannot let this happen.”
