LONDON - Britain’s Queen Elizabeth could be asked as early as Wednesday to agree to suspend parliament, senior BBC journalist Nick Robinson said on Twitter. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has refused to rule out suspending, or proroguing parliament, to prevent it from blocking his plans to take Britain out of the European Union by Oct. 31.

“Hearing that the Queen could be asked to agree to prorogue parliament as early as today,” Robinson, the former BBC political editor, said. “She’s in Balmoral. Would be done by Order in Council. Only one source. Not confirmed. Watch this space.”

Britain should melt down those ridiculous, archaic chairs to feed and educate the poor.Royals RoyalFamily Britain

Are there any protocols or tools for the public or parliament in forcing the monarch to abdicate, just to draw the time?

Goooooooooo Queenie!

Proroguing parliament is normal in the UK, it happens every year when you don't have a bad PM like May

Lol what will this government do next I wonder because it certainly ain’t what the people of the uk want them to do

Funny how the government quotes the English Civil War. In a worst case scenario, will we see a repeat in several years?

Hurrah for Your Majesty, will defend the vote and will of her people.

Haves Harper been to England lately 🤔

Please Your Majesty: Defend Parliamentary democracy and say no

Bye bye democracy...
