More than 100 MPs from all sides of the House of Commons have urged Boris Johnson to recall parliament
immediately.
“Since the Second World War, parliament has been recalled multiple times in every decade for a wide range
of political, security and economic reasons,” the MPs said, in a letter sent to the prime minister.
“Our country is on the brink of an economic crisis, as we career towards a no-deal Brexit which will have an
immediate effect on food and medical supplies, damage our economy, jobs, the public finances, public
services, universities and long-term economic security. A no-deal Brexit also threatens our crucial security
cooperation to keep our country safe from criminals and terrorists.”
