Subscribe to our channel here: https://goo.gl/31Q53F Former Supreme Court Justice, Jonathan Sumption discusses with Kirsty Wark the prime minister’s plan to suspend parliament, which many believe will make blocking a no-deal Brexit much more difficult. Critics have called the controversial decision a “constitutional outrage” but how exactly do you prorogue parliament? Parliament will be suspended just days after MPs return to work in September - and only a few weeks before the Brexit deadline. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said a Queen's Speech would take place after the suspension, on 14 October, to outline his "very exciting agenda". Elizabeth Glinka reports.
