The ruling is the worst outcome that the government could have hoped for. The decision has already prompted calls for Johnson to resign and House of Commons Speaker John Bercow has said parliament will return tomorrow.“I don’t think that it’s right but we will go ahead and of course parliament will come back,” he told reporters in New York this afternoon.
Johnson said he made the decision to prorogue parliament to allow time to prepare for a Queen’s Speech. The basis for that has been found to be unlawful, but doesn’t rule out another prorogation in the coming days or weeks. The prime minister is expected to return to London earlier than planned so he can take up his position leading the government in the House of Commons tomorrow.
The judges “have vindicated the right and duty of parliament to meet at this crucial time to scrutinise the executive”, Bercow said.
This kind of stuff Boris? You mean democracy?
