Boris's reason for the suspension:-//Boris Johnson said a Queen's Speech would take place after the suspension, on 14 October, to outline his "very exciting agenda".//
How are they going to disprove what he has said ?

The finger pointers haven’t been listening. Boris has been clear about his intentions.
