Prime minister opens parliament's 'super Saturday' by warning MPs that backing the Letwin amendment to force a delay would be 'deeply corrosive of public trust'.
The Queen’s speech for the state re-opening of Parliament is upon us. There’s a lot of great outfits and some seriously old traditions, as she sets out government’s agenda for the coming session.
Suspension to bring forward government's new domestic agenda comes amid tension between Downing Street and Brussels.
Following the Supreme Court’s ruling that prorogation was unlawful, MPs flocked back to Parliament for what turned out to be a tumultuous session. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said Boris Johnson was “not fit” for office.

She included a handwritten note and signed her name with an illustration, in a nod to her now-iconic spider brooch.
But people are not happy about how the attorney general phrased the announcement.

The Supreme Court justices are expected to deliver their decision "early next week".
Prime minister also confronted over people having "died because of austerity".
