UPDATE 1-Britain's speaker aims to block parliament closure for Brexit - newspaper

The House of Commons speaker plans to block Prime Minister Boris Johnson from bypassing parliament to take Britain out of the European Union, the Telegraph newspaper reported on Wednesday. John Bercow told an audience in Scotland that lawmakers can prevent a no-deal Brexit scheduled for the end of October and that he would fight any attempt to prorogue, or suspend, parliament “with every bone in my body”. "And parliament will be heard and nobody is going to get away, as far as I am concerned, with stopping that happening," added the 56-year-old who says he voted "Remain" in the 2016 Brexit referendum.
