Labour party leader calls on the monarch to intervene after Johnson asked her to suspend parliament in order to force through Brexit at the end of October.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has asked the Queen to suspend Parliament in mid-September to force through a no-deal Brexit. The move prompted outrage among political opponents, with opposition Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn demanding a meeting with the monarch to request that the suspension is blocked. However, such requests to the Queen are almost always a formality and the Queen reportedly accepted Johnson's request.
