PROTESTERS will be converging on the Island only a week after after the last rally, to decry Boris Johnson's continued plans to prorogue parliament.

Demonstrators along with groups such as Islanders for Europe will be gathering in St Thomas' Square in Newport again on Saturday morning, only a week after protesting the proroguing of parliament.

A spokesperson for Islanders for Europe said: "This government has not shown any movement in their belief that they can suspend Parliament and rule without accountability until the middle of October.

"We must show Westminster that the people demand that our MPs don't get to wall away.

"They must keep working hard in Westminster to find a solution to our national crisis, right up until the October 31 deadline."

Island parliamentary candidate for the Green Party, Vix Lowthion, said: "The Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, is still clinging onto power, even though he now leads a government without a majority in Parliament.

"He still plans to prologue Parliament from next week for five critical weeks before the October 31 deadline.

"This Saturday, Isle of Wight residents are invited again to join in solidarity with our friends on the mainland and take a stand against the arbitrary actions of a Prime Minister and government who are still yet to win a election by all the people or the confidence of the House."
