A new parliamentary session is marked by a Queen's Speech, which sets out the government's agenda.
However, Brexit and the precarious grip on power of Theresa May's minority government has seen this session stretch over three different years. Michael Gove says Theresa May should be given the 'time, space and dignity to leave in a way that she believes is right'The prime minister's official spokesman said Mrs May and the government"decided upon an extended session in order to pass the legislation to deliver Brexit".Other notably long sessions include the 1688-89 Convention Parliament, which came after the Glorious Revolution and sat for 250 days.
The 1997-98 session saw 241 sitting days and involved the passing of legislation to set up the devolved institutions in Scotland and Wales. The longest session of the 19th century came in 1893-94 and was dominated by William Gladstone's attempts to deliver Home Rule for Ireland.

Oh boohoo. 😪 They'll be getting 6 weeks paid holiday soon. Shame they couldn't put a few late shifts in over the last, say, 3 years. It's like watching rats on a sinking ship.
Yeah, imagine the over-time bill!
In the name of God, Go!
Sort it or the might be another civil war
The debate about how to sell remain to the country after the UK voted leave. Parliament has never and still has no intention of honoring the referendum that they promoted, debated and approved. Democracy? They laughing in the face of 17.4M voters.
If it's a WA 'deal' they're trying to fudge through, that's not Brexit. It's a Remain-in-all-but-name surrender treaty, that makes the UK into a slave colony. Brexit
This is ridiculous now . We all knows that nobody wants Brexit anymore . Time to cancel it and get back to normality 👍

Which has achieved precisely nothing except creating the vacuum into which Nigel and his poison have sailed
You mean since the last civil war.. we are in one now

UK’s best Prime Minister since WWII: Who is your favourite?

As grassroots Tories prepare to hold a no-confidence vote on June 15, Express.co.uk is asking you who you think is Britain’s best Prime Minister since World War II. Margaret Thatcher. Blair wanted to be Emperor of Europe and spent trillions bankrupting the UK and Mrs May doesn't know the difference between her head or her arse as far as standing up to Europe or Brexit is concerned.
