Will parliament be suspended again? Is Brexit definitely on? We take you through the dates and events to watch.

If Mr Johnson's request to suspend parliament from next Tuesday evening is accepted by the Queen then MPs will have a week out of the Commons before the prime minister's plans for his government are set out in the Queen's Speech on 14 October.

The PM has sold his plan as a"fair and reasonable compromise". The proposal would keep Northern Ireland tied to the EU single market rules for trade in goods - but leave the customs union with the rest of the UK, resulting in new customs checks.So far European leaders' response to the PM's proposals to resolve the issue of the backstop has been lukewarm.

But they have so far flatly refused to do so - despite challenges from Mr Johnson for them to throw down the gauntlet.Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said he and other opposition leaders remain committed to preventing a no-deal Brexit - first and foremost.
