Queen Elizabeth has approved British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's request to suspend parliament for five weeks until 14 October.

We were joined by Gavin Esler, author of Brexit Without The Bullshit, and Aoife O'Donoghue, Professor of International Law and Global Governance at Durham Law School, to discuss the story further.
