Boris Johnson's government is activating the constitutional mechanism to suspend Parliament on Wednesday, a move which has outraged Remainers because it limits the amount of Parliamentary time available to them to sabotage Brexit taking place at the end of October.
Parliament will reopen on October 14th with the Queen's speech, the ceremonial delivery by the monarch of a speech written by the government outlining their political intentions for the coming session.
A die-hard remainder who it is claimed sabotaged Brexit preparations during his time in government, Hammond said Wednesday: "It would be a constitutional outrage if Parliament were prevented from holding the government to account at a time of national crisis. Profoundly undemocratic."
Conservative Party chairman James Cleverley MP said the development was unsensational, summarising it as"Government to hold a Queen's Speech, just as all new Governments do".
A government spokesman characterised it as "This is about the NHS and violent crime, not Brexit, and the courts have no locus to interfere in a bog-standard Queen's Speech process."
While the Queen could theoretically refuse the instruction of the government, in practice the monarch always does as instructed by the government and has done so for centuries.
The outrage of pro-Remain activists at the government attempting to deliver the Brexit vote made by the British people in 2016 leaves the country in the strange situation where left-minded politicians who would normally be outraged at the Queen making any decisions for herself are now demanding she do just that, to suit their own agenda.
