Furious Remainers accuse Boris of dragging the Queen into politics with Commons speech


Her Royal Highness, 93, will include the Tory party’s political stance in her speech which will mark the State opening of Parliament, according to the Sunday Mirror. Although the Queen’s speech will take place on Monday, Mr Johnson still intends to shut down Parliament seven days later.

On Saturday, the Commons will sit for the first time since the 1982 Falklands War.

The Prime Minister is then likely to outline his agreed Brexit plan.

Mr Johnson hopes to then dissolve Parliament once again to prepare for a possible general election.

However, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has to agree to an election before one can be held.

Mr Johnson is currently 66 MPs short of a majority.

But on Friday, the Prime Minister is hoping to get a deal at the European Council in Brussels.

Further scuppering his plans rebel MPs are now planning to amend the Queen’s Speech to get another EU referendum.

The Tory rebels and Remainer parties are then plotting to force the Prime Minister to ask for another Brexit delay, potentially allowing for a second referendum.

Remainer MP Anna Sourbry said if Mr Johnson does manage to secure a deal with the EU, he will struggle to get it through Parliament.

She said: “If Johnson does somehow secure a withdrawal agreement with the EU, then he will struggle to get it through Parliament.

“His best bet would be to make any agreement conditional on a people’s vote.”

Mr Johnson said getting a deal by October 31 was critical.

He said: “Getting Brexit done by 31st October is absolutely crucial.

“We are continuing to work on an exit deal so we can move on to negotiating a future relationship based on free trade.”

The UK and the EU are currently having “intense technical ­discussions” about the possibility of a deal.

But yesterday, the DUP put a spanner in the works.

A Brexit deal has to involve the UK enforcing the EU’s rules and tariffs on goods moving from Britain to Northern Ireland according to Brussels.

At the moment, a deal could involve Northern Ireland being tied to both the EU and UK customs unions.
