Queen agrees to suspend UK Parliament in September
20:54
Elizabeth II approved Boris Johnson's government request to suspend the Parliament. The British Prime Minister asked the queen to suspend Parliament during the second week of September, soon after lawmakers return from their summer recess. Under his plan, the body would not meet again until October 14 — two weeks before the deadline for Britain's planned departure from the European Union. Opposition politicians, and even some members of Johnson's own party were outraged and denounced it as potentially unconstitutional and undemocratic.
Brexit is due to happen on October 31, and Johnson has promised the UK will leave the European Union on that date with or without a deal.
