According to the BBC’s Political Editor, Laura Kuenssberg, “This move represents a constitutional outrage. However, it is dressed up it is blindingly obvious that the purpose of prorogation now would be to stop Parliament debating Brexit and performing its duty,” Bercow said.
Meanwhile, the GBP/USD pair is down 0.7% on the day and testing the 1.22 handle.
