But if Parliament is suspended on 10 September, as is suggested, it will only give opponents a few days next week to push for their changes.
Mr Johnson has written to MPs to outline his plan, adding:"There will be a significant Brexit legislative programme to get through but that should be no excuse for a lack of ambition!" But a senior EU source told the BBC's Brussels correspondent Adam Fleming:"Whatever happens, the EU was never going to change its position because no deal becomes 'more credible' or opponents of 'no deal' would get better organised."Mr Grieve - a former attorney general - told BBC Radio 5 Live:"If the prime minister persists with this and doesn't back off, then I think the chances are that his administration will collapse.
And the leader of the SNP in Westminster, Ian Blackford, accused Mr Johnson of"acting like a dictator".Brexit Party MEP Alex Phillips said MPs"only had themselves to blame" for the move. "This will be an opportunity to ensure our priorities align with those of the government," she added.What does proroguing Parliament mean?
