By suspending Parliament to force through a No Deal, Boris Johnson and the Government would remove the voice of the people. It is a dangerous and unacceptable course of action which the @LibDems will strongly oppose.

Outrageous plan to close down Parliament. I thought Johnson wanted a restoration of Parliamentary sovereignty? And this drags the Queen into a constitutional crisis!

North Norfolk Lib Dems Chair @Steffanaquarone : “Not content with holding the country to ransom over Brexit, this Tory government seems hell-bent on causing a constitutional crisis at the same time” #NoProrogation #BlockTheCoup #BrexitShambles

It would be a constitutional outrage if Parliament were prevented from holding the government to account at a time of national crisis. Profoundly undemocratic.
