Not how it works.
Prorogation is very different from the conference recess, as during the conference recess, MPs can still meet in committee, they can demand government papers, they can put down questions to ministers.
There are a lot of things that can be done in recess that can't be done in prorogation.

Ah yes, the old
" Democratic - using Parliamentary procedure and conventions to suspend Parliament to prevent discussion and oversight of Government work
Anti-Democratic - using Parliamentary procedure and conventions to hold Government to account"
approach...
Must be a new definition of "moving forward" I hadn't seen before - not allowing Parliament to do anything for five weeks...
