Holy shit, Boris Johnson is a madlad! He’s really going to ask the Queen to prorogue the British Parliament.
The Queen will be asked by the government to suspend Parliament days after MPs return to work - and a matter of weeks before the Brexit deadline.
The BBC’s political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, says it will make way for Boris Johnson’s new administration to hold a Queen’s Speech - laying out the government’s future plans - on 14 October.
But it means MPs are unlikely to have time to pass any laws that could stop the prime minister taking the UK out of the EU without a deal on 31 October.
A No 10 source said: “It’s time a new government and new PM set out a plan for the country after we leave the EU.”
This is it then - the biggest constitutional crisis since the English Civil War; suspending Parliament because they might well vote down BoJo’s Brexit policy.
