Climate activists arrive in new york after crossing the atlantic in a boat. Thanks for joining us. Anger in the u. K. After Boris Johnson moved to suspend parliament, a controversial decision that affects the ability of opponents to block a no deal brexit. Politicians are calling it a constitutional coup. This is how it will play out. The queen has approved Boris Johnsons request to suspend parliament, so that will happen sometime between september 9 and 12th. It is normal for a new government to close parliament for a short time in the runup to the queens speech on october 14, a speech that sets out plans for the coming year. The Prime Minister once parliament to shut earlier than normal. They will be out of action for five weeks, the longest suspension since 1945. That limits the amount of time and these have to block a no deal brexit or issue a vote of noconfidence in the government. The u. K. Is due to leave the eu 17 days later. Idea aboutemains an the British Parliament taking back control of the agenda, having its own laws and making its own rules. What to make of the decision by the new Prime Minister to block it from sitting at all for a fiveweek time at the most crucial moment in the process . One eye on an election, Boris Johnsons as it is about setting out new plans and mps are not being frozen out about having their say over brexit. There will be ample time of on both sides of the summit in parliament for mps to debate. Brexit the eu to debatebrexit brexit and the other issues. For mps and have vowed to do anything in their power to block a no deal brexit, is could threaten to set up an alternative parliament if there views are ignored. They described the move as nothing short of a constitutional outrage, a step on the road to dictatorship. This is an attempt by a Prime Minister who was elected by a small number of people in the to ride roughshod over parliament and prevent any legislation or debate that would stop this country leaving the eu without a deal and all the problems it would cause. He wants to run headlong in the arms of donald trump with more determination than i have ever seen anyone else before. Johnson was thought to have been getting on better with european leaders of late and hope had not been lost among them, but some new deal could be found had not been lost that some new deal could be found, but there is a sense of crisis among those who fear a hard brexit. The conundrum has been whether brexit should fall to government to execute the will of the people or whether parliamentarians should have final say to determine what sort of brexit they think people voted for. By taking mps out of play at a crucial time, johnson is testing whether they have the will to him, hisnd overthrow thernment, and potentially referendum results. The attempt will come sooner rather than later. The National Elections will almost certainly follow, something and something must surely happen to resolve this sense of democratic crisis in the u. K. We have been monitoring reaction and protests. Since the referendum, the Public Discourse surrounding leaving the eu has grown uglier. Who would have thought a few years ago that the word coup would be used in relation to britains democracy . That is what these demonstrators are calling the decision by johnson to suspend Parliament Next Week. That is not how johnson sees it. He sees it in somewhat procedural terms as a way of making sure mps are out of the way, not in the equation anymore, to make sure the British Government can pass muchneeded legislation when it comes to the humdrum daytoday stuff of running the country, things like roads, education, health care. For these people, opposed to leaving the eu without a deal, they disagree with that standpoint, believing that Boris Johnson wants to keep leaving the eu without a deal on the table until the dying moments, just before october 31, which remains of course in legislation when the u. K. Will leave the eu. According to mps i have spoken to, including the prominent opposition mp who is the chair of the Cross Party Committee on leaving the eu, they intend when mps returned to Parliament Next Week to challenge the position, very much in the same way they challenged theresa may and her vision of wrecks it of brexit. I think the priority is to prevent a no deal brexit because that is the reason he is doing this. That there isnt a majority in the house of commons to support them for a no deal brexit and he is trying to make it difficult for mps to stop him from achieving that. The problem is, time is running out. Mps have a matter of days next week to coalesce around a single idea. Boris johnson believes he is delivering the will of the people, honoring the result of the referendum. Parliamentarians say they represent the real will of the people. They will fight this to the end. Commissioning editor at the telegraph newspaper says Boris Johnsons move is legitimate and could spark progress with eu talks. The queen, the head of state, endorsed this. It is a constitutional procedure. All of this humdrum unconstitutional gripes, they have been dismissed by the queen. There is no Greater Authority than her. Eu leaders want to see Boris Johnson is ready and able to take something for parliament, that he can take on mps. This may encourage a quiet hope that he has worked out how to do this. In the middle of this froth about, dictator and constitutional arguments, one thing is missed. With the queens speech Boris Johnson wants to have to kick off the new parliament, there is the Withdrawal Agreement billion wants to happen. He could pass a Withdrawal Agreement, something he couldnt do given that it was previously rejected three times and the speaker of the house of commons room do cant have another go with the same legislation.
