Queen Elizabeth stayed up late in order to formally grant Royal Assent to Yvette Cooper’s bill to delay Brexit which is designed to stop a no deal Brexit according to reports. Parliamentary bills cannot become law without The Queen’s approval so she waited up until 11pm in order to sign the bill.
The House of Commons approved Yvette Cooper’s bill then Hilary Benn asked if Royal Assent would be obtained “tonight”. Speaker John Bercow replied he was “cautiously optimistic on that front”.
30 minutes passed and by 11.15 pm the Queen had granted Royal Assent to the cross party bill that prevents a no deal Brexit.
This comes as UKIP Leader Gerard Batten has said that the Queen is now in breach of her coronation oaths.
Writing to his over 51,000 followers on twitter Mr. Batten said: “Sad to say, Her Majesty, acting on the advice of her Ministers, has been in breach of the Bill of Rights, Her Coronation Oath, & our Constitution since 1973. The final Surrender Agreement is the final nail in the coffin. She knows all this perfectly well.”
