PM BorisJohnson has denied he's leading 'authoritarian regime'
The prime minister has controversially suspended parliament for five weeks, the longest prorogation for decades, until 14 October - when it will reopen with a new Queen's Speech to set out the government's legislative agenda and little more than two weeks before the UK is scheduled to leave the EU.- a decision the government vowed to appeal at the Supreme Court in London next week.
"We need to push on with measures to improve our NHS, to improve our education, all sorts of things to take forward the people's priorities. Boris Johnson came to office pledging to scrap it - but there is speculation he may be softening that position somewhat But he also repeated his commitment to leaving the EU on 31 October, even if he doesn't strike a new agreement.
