U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has denied lying to Queen Elizabeth over the reasons for suspending parliament for five weeks in the run up to the Brexit deadline.

U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has denied lying to Queen Elizabeth over the reasons for suspending Parliament for five weeks in the run up to the Brexit deadline.The queen has a symbolic role in the prorogation process.

Queen Elizabeth II welcomes newly elected leader of the Conservative party, Boris Johnson during an audience where she invited him to become Prime Minister and form a new government in Buckingham Palace on July 24, 2019 in London, England. The British monarch remains politically neutral and the incoming Prime Minister visits the Palace to satisfy the Queen that they can form her government by being able to command a majority, holding the greater number of seats, in Parliament.

Asked on Thursday if he had lied to the queen over the reasons for the prorogation, Johnson said "absolutely not," Reuters reported. Although the suspension of Parliament is normal in that it marks the end of one parliamentary session before the start of another, Johnson has been widely criticized by opposition lawmakers for the move ahead of the Brexit deadline on October 31 when there is still no deal in place. The five-week suspension is also one of the longest shutdowns in decades.

Scottish court rules Boris Johnson's suspension of Parliament is unlawfulA Scottish court rules Prime Minister Boris Johnson's move to suspend Parliament was unlawful, but leaves final decision to British Supreme Court. So what? Call US when the crazy ride is over. Wow, this guy can’t catch a break- not that he deserves one. Get it right it was a Scottish Court that is a different ruling system to England and Wales. The English courts have already ruled it Lawful. It will now be decided by the Supreme Court that can only rule in favour of the Prime Minister.

Scottish court says Boris Johnson's suspension of Parliament is unlawfulAgreeing with critics that prorogation was an effort to avoid scrutiny of his plan for a no-deal Brexit, the court unanimously decided Boris Johnson’s suspension “had the purpose of stymying Parliament.” Time to FIRE Him. It can't be unlawful, it's a Kingdom so the Queen is the law so if she orders it then it is lawful irrelevant of the advice given. Other Scottish and English courts have already judged it was lawful.
