Closing Parliament to force no deal would be an outrage
Responding to reports that the government is investigating ways to close parliament in order to force through no deal, Liberal Democrat Shadow Brexit Secretary Tom Brake MP said "If Boris Johnson can find a kooky or irregular way to shut Parliament out of the Brexit process it will be an outrage. No deal will destroy our economy, it will have a dramatic impact on the cost of living and it will mean less access to medicines that keep people alive. Parliament must be able to challenge Ministers on the damage it will cause."
