I’M APPALLED that the Government is suspending Parliament in September.

With the Brexit deadline around the corner, it means MPs won’t have time to pass laws to stop a no deal Brexit or scrutinise the Government at one of the most critical times in our country’s history.

This is an outrage and undermines the very idea of democracy.

Boris Johnson has promised to obey the “democratic” will of the people and take Britain out of the EU even if it means crashing out with all the repercussions of no deal.

But what he is doing now is trashing democracy entirely and demonstrating exactly what he thinks of it in order to get his way.

He doesn’t care about democracy, he is playing some sort of Machiavellian game and he seems to be enjoying it. In effect we now have the beginnings of a dictatorship.

This extraordinarily cynical move by Boris Johnson and his minions and advisors needs to be stopped.

This is no longer about leaving or staying it is far more important. It is a threat to our institutions and the whole fabric of the country.

With just a few weeks before Brexit, we need politicians in Parliament, doing their jobs to make sure we leave the European Union in the best possible way for the sake of future generations.

That’s why I’ve joined the campaign calling for Boris Johnson not to suspend Parliament to ram through an undemocratic Brexit, which will do nothing to provide closure and bring the country back together.
