The governments decision. What he is doing is he is suspending parliament when it should be sitting because he is determined to do something for which he has no mandate at all. Sterling has fallen in response to the announcement. It lost around a cent against both the us dollar and the euro, due to increased fears of a no deal brexit. Good morning. Welcome to bbc newsroom live. The queen is to be asked by the government to suspend Parliament Days after mps return to work, and a matter of weeks before the brexit deadline.

Bobs story about the genius of the political like his subject, caro has no peer. Over the years bob has spoiled us with his portraits of robert moses and Lyndon Johnson and treated us to slight left turns in the narrative, his diversions into fascinating bystanders, they might form the basis of future studies in and of themself.
