Boris faces calls to reverse suspension of parliament
Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, is facing increasing pressure to reverse his decision to suspend Parliament ahead of the October 31 Brexit deadline.
The suspension, which was announced on August 28, has been widely criticized by opposition parties, lawmakers, and even some members of Johnson's own Conservative Party. The move has been seen as an attempt to limit the time available for Parliament to scrutinize and debate the government's Brexit plans.
On September 3, the Supreme Court ruled that Johnson's decision to suspend Parliament was unlawful and that it was up to the court to decide whether the suspension was valid. The court's decision has been seen as a major blow to Johnson's authority and has increased the pressure on him to reverse the suspension.
On September 4, the House of Commons voted to hold an emergency debate on the suspension, with many lawmakers calling for Johnson to reverse the decision. The debate was attended by hundreds of lawmakers, with many speaking out against the suspension.
Johnson has faced criticism from all sides of the political spectrum, with many arguing that the suspension is an attempt to avoid scrutiny and accountability. The opposition Labour Party has called for Johnson to reverse the suspension and allow Parliament to continue functioning normally.
The Scottish National Party (SNP) has also called for the suspension to be reversed, with SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon saying that the move was "an attempt to silence Parliament and avoid scrutiny".
The Liberal Democrats have also called for the suspension to be reversed, with party leader Jo Swinson saying that the move was "a desperate attempt to avoid accountability".
The suspension has also been criticized by many outside of politics, with many arguing that it is undemocratic and undermines the principles of parliamentary democracy.
In response to the criticism, Johnson has maintained that the suspension was necessary to allow for a new session of Parliament to be established, and to allow for the government to prepare for the upcoming Brexit negotiations.
However, many lawmakers and experts have disputed this claim, arguing that the suspension is an attempt to limit the time available for Parliament to scrutinize and debate the government's Brexit plans.
The situation remains highly uncertain, with many predicting that the suspension will be reversed in the coming days.
