    Queen grants Boris Johnson's request to prorogue Parliament ahead of Brexit deadline
    Updated about 4 hours ago

    The Queen has approved British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's plan to shut down the UK Parliament for several weeks ahead of the Brexit deadline.
    Key points:

    • Mr Johnson has denied the move is to prevent MPs stopping a no-deal Brexit
    • One MP described the move as an attempt to govern without Parliament
    • The UK is due to leave the EU on October 31
    Critics argue the PM's move is part of a drive to prevent MPs from having a say on a controversial no-deal exit from the European Union.
    It comes a day after politicians who are opposed to a no-deal Brexit met to discuss ways they could use parliamentary procedure to force Mr Johnson to seek a delay to Brexit.

    Yeps, if it comes from 'One who must be obeyed';
    then this kefuffle may see the settlement that the people
    wanted in the first place so many moons ago.

    Cheers,
