The Queen Agrees To Let Boris Johnson Shut Down Parliament And Thwart Corbyns Anti-Brexit Plot

(The Sun) Natasha Clark Alex Matthews Aug 28 2019 15:56 THE Queen has approved Boris Johnsons bombshell request to suspend Parliament and stop Jeremy Corbyns plans to block No Deal Brexit. Her Majesty met with members of Privy Council today at Balmoral and an order to prorogue Parliament between September 9 to October 14 was given the green light this afternoon. Brexiteer and Lord of the Council Jacob Rees-Mogg Baroness Evans and Mark Spencer MP were the three counselors who met the Monarch today on behalf of the PM. While the Queens decision is a boost for Boris it would have been unprecedented for her to refuse the request of a sitting PM. No10 would have expected this step and will now look towards fighting a Corbyn no confidence vote in the Commons. Boris bold move to block MPs from sitting in Parliament for around five weeks over conference season will give rebels less time to launch new plots to stop us leaving on October 31. MPs would come back for a Queens Speech on October 14 under the plans just two weeks before were due to leave the EU.
