Bercow says no to prorrogation of Parliament
John Bercow has said no to prorogation of Parliament, as suggested by Raab, to ensure a no-deal Brexit by 31 October 2019.
The possibility of prorogation has arisen as part of the Tory leadership contest - which will also choose the UK's next prime minister - as the candidates battle over their vision for Brexit.
After Mr Raab made his comments to a leadership hustings on Wednesday, his fellow contender, International Development Secretary Rory Stewart, called the suggestion "unconstitutional" and "undemocratic", adding: "It wouldn't work.
… The Leader of the House was asked to confirm that he had "no intention of suspending democracy in this country to facilitate that no-deal Brexit".
Mr Stride said prorogation was "ultimately in the gift of the Queen", adding: "What I would say is, that I do think Her Majesty should be kept out of the politics of our Parliament."
