The UK Parliament will be shut down until October, as the British government gets ready for the country’s exit from the EU.
The days leading up to Brexit have been filled with intense action in the British Parliament. On Monday, British politicians pressed Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his administration to disclose their communications concerning Brexit plans.
As worries about Brexit persist, UK lawmakers are being sent home to address the ongoing political challenges. It’s crucial to reach a deal before the Brexit deadline to mitigate the anticipated negative consequences. During Monday’s parliamentary session opposition members made their stance clear and dealt further blows to Johnson. They managed to pass a law to prevent the UK from leaving the EU without a deal on October 31st, securing the Queen’s approval in the process.
The pressure on Johnson’s government is mounting as British legislators intensify their scrutiny. They are demanding the release of emails and messages from aides about Brexit strategies and the suspension of parliament by Wednesday. Allegations have been made that shutting down parliament is an attempt to sidestep the democratic process. Prime Minister Johnson is facing challenges as he loses support. He has strongly expressed his determination to push through Brexit without delay, despite having limited options to prevent a postponement.
