UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson enraged opponents of a no-deal Brexit Wednesday by using a parliamentary mechanism to order the suspension of parliament for almost a month.
The opposition Labour Party in the UK says it will trigger an emergency debate in parliament next week to try to stop Prime Minister Boris Johnson taking Britain out of the European Union without a withdrawal deal.
More than three years after the country voted in a referendum to leave the bloc, the United Kingdom is heading toward its gravest constitutional crisis in decades and a showdown with the EU over Brexit, which is due to take place in just over two months.
Mr. Johnson, who became prime minister last month, enraged opponents of a no-deal Brexit Wednesday by using a parliamentary mechanism to order the suspension of parliament for almost a month.
The speaker of the lower house of parliament, John Bercow, called this a constitutional outrage as it limited the time the parliament has to debate and shape the course of British history.
Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn said as soon as parliament returns from its summer break on Tuesday, his party would initiate a process to legislate against a no-deal Brexit that he said would be damaging for the jobs and the economy.
