<span style="color: #222222;">British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's decision to suspend Parliament has prompted an angry backlash from MPs and campaigners. </span><br />'' <span style="color: #222222;">Hundreds of people protested in London yesterday and a petition against the move gained a million signatures. Earlier, Queen Elizabeth approved Mr Johnson's request to suspend Parliament for five weeks in September and October – weeks before the Brexit deadline. Opponents say it will leave MPs with little time to stop a no-deal Brexit.</span><br />'' <span style="color: #222222;"><br />'' But cabinet minister Michael Gove insisted the suspension was certainly not a political move to stop MPs blocking a no deal. Instead, he told the BBC there would be plenty of time to debate Brexit before the scheduled departure date of 31 October.&nbsp;</span><br />'' <span style="color: #222222;"><br />''<br />''Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn described it as a smash and grab on British democracy in order to force through a no deal by not leaving enough time to pass laws in Parliament – and pledged to try to stop the suspension.</span><br />
