Keir Starmer – Next week is our last chance to stop no deal
The Andrew Marr Show returned this week after a summer break, just before Parliament is due to sit again on Tuesday. However, with the Prime Minister set to prorogue Parliament ahead of a new session, there are only 16 sitting days left before the UK is set to leave the EU on 31st October. The Shadow Brexit Secretary Sir Keir Starmer told Marr that MPs who opposed a no deal Brexit had to be ready to seize their moment:

KS: The Prime Minister is going to close Parliament down on Monday week… The first time that we could come back to this is probably 21st-22nd of October, which is the week before we would crash out, so this is almost certainly the last chance.
