Jeremy Corbyn tells Boris Johnson: 'This government is a disgrace'

British prime minister Boris Johnson tells parliament: 'We will not allow the emphatic verdict of the [Brexit] referendum to be slowly suffocated by further calculated drift and paralysis' ahead of his decision to suspend parliament until 14 October. Labour opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn replies: 'The one thing the prime minister didn't say was that he was going to obey the law of this country', a reference to claims No 10 is seeking to circumvent the bill passed earlier banning a no-deal Brexit in October. He accuses Johnson of proroguing parliament to avoid scrutiny of his Brexit strategy, or lack thereof. 'This government is a disgrace, and the way the prime minister operates is a disgrace,' he says.
