Labour leader Corbyn requests meeting with Queen to halt Boris Johnson’s plan to suspend Parliament

Jeremy Corbyn has written to the Queen requesting a meeting “as a matter of urgency” in a bid to stop Boris Johnson suspending parliament.

The move came after the prime minister revealed he had requested the monarch to use a procedure known as “prorogation” to halt sittings in both the Commons and Lords from the second week in September until a Queen’s Speech on 14 October.

Mr Cobyn, who has joined forces with other opposition party leaders in a bid to thwart no deal, said the plan was a “threat to democracy”.

Boris Johnson’s attempt to suspend parliament to avoid scrutiny of his plans for a reckless No Deal Brexit is an outrage and a threat to our democracy.

Labour will work across Parliament to hold the government to account and prevent a disastrous No Deal.

— Jeremy Corbyn (@jeremycorbyn) August 28, 2019

Corbyn accused Boris Johnson of a “smash-and-grab on our democracy”.

He said in a statement: “I am appalled at the recklessness of Johnson’s government, which talks about sovereignty and yet is seeking to suspend parliament to avoid scrutiny of its plans for a reckless No Deal Brexit .

“This is an outrage and a threat to our democracy.”

Mr Corbyn added: “That is why Labour has been working across Parliament to hold this reckless government to account, and prevent a disastrous No Deal which parliament has already ruled out.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
