In August, a important political maneuver unfolded when Commons Leader Jacob Rees-Mogg met with Queen Elizabeth II at Balmoral. Teh purpose of this meeting was to request the prorogation of Parliament for a period of five weeks.This action was intended to halt the progress of parliamentary proceedings by those who opposed Prime Minister Boris Johnson‘s Brexit agenda.
The decision to suspend Parliament proved to be a highly contentious one. Then-Labor Leader Jeremy Corbyn voiced his strong disapproval, penning a letter to the monarch that characterized the move as “not on.”
The controversy escalated in September with legal challenges mounted in Scotland and London against the government’s decision.Ultimately, the Supreme Court declared the prorogation unlawful, a ruling that coincided with the Labour Party’s annual conference.
