Johnson govt to hold Queen's speech on 14th October, will be confirmed by privy council at Balmoral today - No 10 says it's all biz as usual for a new govt, but has useful political side effect that denies MPs time to try to stop no deal— Laura Kuenssberg (@bbclaurak) August 28, 2019
Nothing unusual here, except that in order for the Queen's Speech (ie the opening of a new parliament) to be held, the current parliament must be prorogued.
By happenstance, this gives the Brexit "rebel alliance" little time for mischief making.
I predict a wee bit of a row over this :)
