Jeremy Corbyn has responded to Boris Johnson's plan to hold a Queen's Speech on October 14 in a move to hamper MPs plans to block a no-deal Brexit .
The Labour leader branded the the PM's move a "an outrage and a threat to our democracy".
It follows Commons Speaker John Bercow accusing the Tory leader of a "constitutional outrage".
Mr Corbyn said in a statement: "I am appalled at the recklessness of Johnson's government, which talks about sovereignty and yet is seeking to suspend parliament to avoid scrutiny of its plans for a reckless No Deal Brexit .
"This is an outrage and a threat to our democracy."
Mr Corbyn added: "That is why Labour has been working across Parliament to hold this reckless government to account, and prevent a disastrous No Deal which parliament has already ruled out.
"If Johnson has confidence in his plans he should put them to the people in a general election or public vote."
The House of Commons is currently expected to resume sitting after its summer break on September 3 and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and other opposition leaders have agreed to seek legislative changes to prevent a no-deal Brexit.
The Prime Minister has said he will suspend Parliament from around September 11 until the Queen's Speech - a process known as prorogation.
Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: "So it seems that Boris Johnson may actually be about to shut down Parliament to force through a no-deal Brexit.
"Unless MPs come together to stop him next week, today will go down in history as a dark one indeed for UK democracy."
In response to the reports of a parliamentary suspension, Tory Party chairman James Cleverley said: "Or to put is another way: Government to hold a Queen's Speech, just as all new governments do."
