PM BorisJohnson cuts short New York trip and heads back to UK, facing calls to resign over unlawful suspending of Parliament

Opposition MPs involved in the legal action that ended in victory in the Supreme Court are predicting a packed agenda as they attempt to turn up the heat on Mr Johnson and senior ministers.

"But I would be very surprised if there aren't urgent questions about the nature of the legal advice that was given to Boris Johnson about the proroguing of parliament."And in addition to questions about Brexit there will also probably be questions about the collapse of Thomas Cook and questions about Liz Truss's unlawful activity in flouting the law against arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

Labour argues, however, that the numbers are not there yet to win a no-confidence vote, because the 21 ousted rebel Tory MPs have said they are not prepared to vote with Labour.The Financial Times declares in its editorial that any prime minister with a"shred of respect" for British democracy and the responsibilities of the office would resign.

"Now this ruling leaves a stain on his character and competence. Faced with such a damning judgement, any premier with a shred of respect for British democracy and the responsibilities of his office would resign.
