b'The dust is beginning to settle after British prime minister Boris Johnson\\u2019s surprise announcement on Wednesday, that he is to prorogue parliament for five weeks in order to bring forward his Government\\u2019s new legislative agenda. The move has been attacked as anti-democratic, but what happens next? Is a general election now more likely to be called before the October 31st Brexit date that Johnson has long since promised to honour? Or, can opposition MPs manage to coalesce around an alternative PM to form a government of national unity and halt Johnson in his tracks? Hugh is joined by The Guardian\\u2019s Brexit correspondent Lisa O\\u2019Carroll and Irish Times political editor Pat Leahy to discuss how this could all play out in the weeks ahead.
