A town centre demo has been organised for this Saturday following yesterday's announcement that the PM is suspending Parliament ahead of Britain’s planned departure from the EU on October 31.
The event, organised by Doncaster People’s Assembly, will take place from noon and is described as a “rally against Johnson's attack on democracy.”

The Prime Minister's decision to suspend Parliament has prompted an angry backlash from MPs and opponents of a no-deal Brexit.
Protests and demonstrations have been organised across the country, while legal challengers are being considered.
A petition against the suspension has already attracted more than 1.3 million signatures.

Yesterday, Mr Johnson said a Queen's Speech would take place after the suspension, on 14 October, to outline his "very exciting agenda".
But fellow Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats have united to condemn the move.
