British PM to suspend parliament before Brexit, opposition denounces ’coup’

Live Mint  

London: Prime Minister Boris Johnson will suspend Britain's parliament for more than a month before Brexit, enraging opponents and raising the stakes in the country's most serious political crisis in decades. The Church of England warned a chaotic Brexit would hurt the poor, the speaker of parliament said the move marked a "constitutional outrage" and a group of cross-party lawmakers sought a legal injunction. Parliament's speaker John Bercow, a powerful figure who has shown a willingness to break procedural precedents in order to ensure lawmakers can debate Brexit fully, said it was "blindingly obvious" the move was designed to restrict debate. A Queen's Speech on Oct. 14 would delay parliament's return and leave lawmakers with just over two weeks until Britain is due to leave the EU on Oct. 31.
