UK Speaker says he is preparing for 'resumption of the business of the House of Commons' after UK Supreme Court rules PM's suspension of Parliament unlawful.
The U.K. Supreme Court has ruled that Prime Minister Boris Johnson's move to suspend Parliament was unlawful in a historic judgement Tuesday.
"I don't think that it's right, but we will go ahead and of course Parliament will come back," he told the BBC in New York, where he is attending the United Nations General Assembly.""We must get on and deliver Brexit on October 31. They thought the prorogation that we chose was not something they could approve of. The main thing is that we will get on and deliver Brexit on October 31st ... but Parliament will come back and we will respect that.
Two court cases were then brought to challenge the suspension of Parliament which, after various appeals, reached the highest court in the land last week. Now the court has ruled this was illegal. The Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow who presides over debates in Parliament said lawmakers would be returning to work as soon as possible, which will most likely be as early as tomorrow morning.
Jo Swinson, the leader of the Liberal Democrat Party which advocates remaining in the EU, said that Johnson “isn’t fit to be prime minister.” That @UKSupremeCourt judgment - upholding the Scottish Court of Session - is of truly historic proportions. The prorogation of Parliament by Boris Johnson was unlawful and of no effect. Well done to @joannaccherry @JolyonMaugham @thatginamiller
