UK PM Johnson has denied lying to Queen Elizabeth as he continues to face pressure over his decision to suspend Parliament in the midst of the ongoing Brexit crisis.
LONDON — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Thursday denied lying to Queen Elizabeth II as he continues to face pressure over his decision to suspend Parliament in the midst of the ongoing Brexit crisis., something he claims is necessary to prepare for a new parliamentary session and a new legislative agenda.
The court ruled that the true motive for suspending Parliament was not, as Johnson told the queen, to pave the way for new legislation, but in fact designed to stop lawmakers scrutinizing his Brexit plans, which include the possibility of a highly controversial"no deal" scenario where the U.K. leaves with no divorce agreement.
Defending himself Thursday, the prime minister noted that a parallel court case was rejected by England's High Court. This and the Scottish case will be heard at the U.K.'s Supreme Court on Tuesday. Meanwhile on Thursday, a separate legal challenge to a no-deal Brexit was rejected in Northern Ireland.
