Protests across the UK over parliament suspension

Thousands of people took to the streets across the United Kingdom Saturday to protest Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s plan to suspend parliament.

There are more than 30 protests planned in cities around the U.K., according to the BBC.

The largest protest is taking place in London, where protestors gathered outside the gates of No. 10 Downing Street with banners reading “stop the coup” and “defend democracy,” the Guardian reported.

Demonstrators are protesting Johnson’s decision to suspend the U.K. parliament, which critics argue gives MPs little time to thwart a no-deal Brexit. The suspension is set to take effect the second week of September — as early as September 9 — and last until October 14.
