September 25, 2019An ovation of numerous deputies, particularly from the opposition benches, today greeted the formal reopening of the British Parliament after the suspension started two weeks ago at the behest of Boris Johnson's Tory government."Welcome back to your place of work", began the speaker John Bercow - free batsman from the conservative party, but for a long time at odds with Johnson and ready to resign on October 31 only after the chamber has had a say in a 'possible Brexit no deal - before starting a very busy day. Waiting for the prime minister's statement, expected except for accelerations, not before late afternoon. The Parliament of Westminster remained closed from September 9th to today on the basis of the suspension (prorogation) that the government would have liked to have lasted until October 14th, but which was declared illegal and annulled by the supreme court.
