Britain’s Supreme Court yesterday ruled that Prime Minister Boris Johnson acted unlawfully in suspending parliament in the run-up to Brexit, in a momentous defeat that sparked calls for him to resign.
The ruling is a huge blow to Johnson’s authority and casts further doubt on his vow to leave the European Union on October 31 even without a deal with Brussels.
The Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, immediately announced that MPs would reconvene this morning.
The Conservative leader, who is currently in New York, told British media he “strongly disagreed” with the decision but said he would respect it.
