British cabinet calls protests against prorogation an "overreaction"

British Cabinet Ministers have rejected claims that the suspension of Parliament is to stop MPs from trying to prevent a no-deal Brexit.

There's been a major backlash to Boris Johnson's move, which he insists is so he can set out new Government policies. More than a million people have signed a petition calling for him to revoke his decision, while thousands are out protesting. Commons leader Jacob-Rees Mogg says it's all an overreaction.
