Corbyn joins Scottish rally against suspension of Parliament
UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn today joined a Glasgow rally against Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s prorogation of the Westminster Parliament, while protests raged across the country.
Crowds gathered outside the Scottish Parliament to protest at a perceived attack on democracy, while thousands took to the streets in England and Northern Ireland.
In London demonstraters chanted “Boris, shame on you” while bringing Whitehall to a standstill, although the BBC reports that a small group who support Mr Johnson also appeared.
Meanwhile Mr Johnson asserted the widespread claims that he has suspended Parliament as part of an attempt to force through a no deal Brexit are “completely untrue”.
Earlier this week Falkirk politicians united to condemn the suspension of Parliament, with Falkirk MP John McNally branding the move as “devious” and “totally undemocratic”.
