In a setback to opponents of Brexit, a judge in Scotland has refused to block British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s plan to suspend Parliament next month. Johnson’s move leaves lawmakers who oppose a no-deal exit from the European Union with limited time to pass legislation supporting any other measures. Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn vowed to challenge Johnson’s plan.
Jeremy Corbyn: “We will be back in Parliament on Tuesday to challenge Boris Johnson on what I think is a smash-and-grab raid against our democracy, where he’s trying to suspend Parliament in order to prevent a serious discussion and a serious debate to prevent a no-deal Brexit.”
