British Queen Elisabeth II had approved Boris Johnson's plan to suspend Parliament, the English Council of State had noted. Opposition members of Parliament have today reacted with outrage over the move, which they say severely restricts their ability to scrutinize the government’s Brexit plans.
A Conservative representative Dominic Grieve announced himself among the first, calling this 'an outrageous move'. He warned that this could cause the fall of the Government, BBC reports. Great Britain is among the oldest parliamentary democracies in the world, so this move of Boris Johnson really raised fury within the country.
Main representative of European Parliament for Brexit Guy Verhofstadt, reacted to the plan of Johnson's government on Twitter:
"Taking back control" has never looked so sinister. As a fellow parliamentarian, my solidarity with those fighting for their voices to be heard. Suppressing debate on profound choices is unlikely to help deliver a stable future EU - UK relationship", Verhofstadt concluded.
Deputy Labour leader Tom Watson tweeted: “We do not have a ‘new government.’ This action is an utterly scandalous affront to our democracy. We cannot let this happen.”
Green MP Caroline Lucas said on Twitter: “Wasn’t this meant to be about ‘taking back control’? The act of a cowardly prime minister who knows his reckless no-deal Brexit will never gain the support of MPs. A constitutional outrage which parliament and the people will oppose.” She added hashtag #BlockTheCoup.

You have a provocative headline calling Boris cowardly, but no where in the article do you actually explain why it is cowardly. Questionable politics yes, cowardly no. Arguably, it is a brave action on his part. Arguably it is also appropriate.

Parliament has talked pointlessly for three years. There are enough of them who talk of a ‘deal’ when they hypocritically really mean ‘remain’. They make no effort to fulfil the result of the referendum but instead try to undermine it.
There is no meaningful deal available. Parliament has rejected the backstop in Ireland three times and the EU has not accommodated their rejection of it. The only ‘deals’ available are just a version of ‘remain’.
Parliament will get the chance to talk both before and after the Queen’s speech. I doubt they have anything new to say, nor any meaningful activity to propose that will attempt to fulfil the expressed wish of the British people.
Boris is right - it’s time to put Brexit into effect and then move on.

A the Ines bawling about democracy choose to ignore the result of the 2016 vote. Most of the uk parliamentarians are anti uk, pro European traitors ( like guy fawlkes).
