From Lately, 10:30 pm on 29 August 2019

The British government's decision to suspend parliament for nearly five crucial weeks in the run-up to the withdrawal from the European Union has provoked a massive backlash.

Thousands of protestors took to the streets in numerous cities, and an anti-suspension petition garnered more than a million signatures within hours and it continues to grow. 

Opposition parties and some Government MPs have also been highly critical of the move, and Karyn speaks with Professor of Law at the University of Cambridge.

Professor of Law and Public Policy at the University of Cambridge, David Howarth, speaks with Karyn about what the suspension means.
