Boris Johnson opts for the nuclear option: PM asks the Queen to SUSPEND Parliament just weeks before Brexit deadline to halt Corbyn plot to block No Deal as furious Speaker John Bercow accuses him of ‘constitutional outrage’
Boris Johnson to suspend Parliament until October 14 for new Queen’s Speech
Cleared his plan with the Queen this morning before sending letter to every MP
Means House of Commons will be suspended some point week starting Sept 9
Will reduce the amount of time available for MPs to try to stop No Deal Brexit
Increases possibility of Jeremy Corbyn calling no confidence vote next week
Move has sparked a political firestorm with PM accused of sidelining Parliament
Furious MPs savage the PM and accuse him of ‘behaving like a tin pot dictator’
Mr Corbyn said suspending Parliament was an ‘outrage and threat to democracy’
He has reportedly demanded a meeting with the Queen to express his concern
Commons Speaker John Bercow: ‘Move represents a constitutional outrage’
But government insists the Queen’s Speech plans are a regular procedural step
Hoping this isn’t an opening for the attempted Georgia Gov Dem
