The PM has warned MPs they are damaging his chances of getting a deal with the EU by trying to block a no-deal Brexit.

Boris Johnson said the UK would leave the bloc "do or die" on 31 October - prompting some MPs to act to stop the UK leaving without an agreement.

But he said the more MPs try to block a no-deal Brexit, "the more likely it is that we'll end up in that situation".

It comes after the PM announced he would be suspending Parliament for five weeks over September and October.

Mr Johnson said it was to allow the government to hold a Queen's Speech and outline its "very exciting agenda" for the future.

But critics claim his intention is to prevent any moves in the Commons to stop a no deal.
