Earlier this morning the UK Supreme Court ruled that PM Johnson’s suspension of Parliament was unlawful. According to the 11 justices, PM Johnson gave Queen Elizabeth II unlawful advice to suspend Parliament for the Queens Speech. This hindered elected officials to perform their democratic duty, as of the ruling. PM Johnson responded after the verdict that “Obviously this is a verdict that we will respect and we respect the judicial process. I have to say that I strongly disagree with what the justices have found. I don’t think that it’s right, but we will go ahead and of course Parliament will come back.”

The opposition wasted no time to call for his resignation, which is unlikely to happen. MP’s were called back to Parliament immediately. Despite the setback, Johnson vowed to deliver Brexit by October 31st 2019. He added “The most important thing is we get on and deliver Brexit on Oct. 31 and clearly the claimants in this case are determined to frustrate that and to stop that. I think it would be very unfortunate if Parliament made that objective which the people want more difficult, but we will get on.”
