StopTheCoup trends in U.K. as Boris Johnson is accused of 'acting like a dictator' by asking Queen to suspend parliament
that the monarch will be asked to suspend parliament, known as proroguing, days after MPs return to work from their summer recess in September. This will allow Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government to hold a Queen's Speech, in which his administration's plans are laid out, on October 14.
Critics have condemned the move, saying prorogation, during which no debates or votes can be held, will stop elected politicians from voting in the Brexit process.
