queen elizabeth: Johnson has won consent of Queen Elizabeth to suspend, or prorogue the British Parliament for nearly five weeks in September and October, according to Global Times China. Critics say it is a move by the British prime minister to reduce the chances of MPs in the House of Commons from blocking his option of a no-deal Brexit if London and Brussels fail to reach a deal by Oct. 31. The Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce BCC Adam Marshall said business in Britain felt like Westminster is playing an endless game of political chess, while the futures of business and the health of the UK economy hang in the balance. Marshall said Every move in this game is prompting more questions, not just amongst businesses here at home but also amongst their partners around the world. Three years on, the damage continues. Out in the real world, continuing political turbulence is taking a toll on contracts, on investment decisions, and on business confidence.
