Boris Johnson has decided to prorogue parliament via a queens speech. This is normal tradition for a new government, however these are not normal times. On the 31st of October the UK is set to leave the EU through a no-deal brexit if we do not accept the deal set by the EU. This prorogation and recess in parliament means that MPs will have 2 weeks out of the remaining 2 months to enact legislation to prevent a no-deal brexit, something that is basically impossible. The only realistic way to truly prevent a no-deal brexit now is to have a vote of no confidence in our prime minister, Boris Johnson.
