TENS of thousands of demonstrators across the country have demanded Boris Johnson does not suspend Parliament, as Labour heavyweight Richard Burgon warns that the Prime Minister wants to impose “economic shock therapy” on the British people.

Writing exclusively in the Morning Star tomorrow, the shadow justice secretary condemns what he called a “smash-and-grab raid on our democracy,” after the Queen approved Mr Johnson’s request to prorogue Parliament.

The PM claims that the move is to ensure the government can organise Britain’s departure from the European Union in an orderly way.
