Stunning blow for Johnson

British SC strikes down parliament suspension in the run-up to Brexit

AlP, London
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.
He had argued that shutting down parliament until October 14 was
a routine move to allow his new government to set out a new legislative programme
But critics accused him of trying to silence MPs.
Delivering the unanimous verdict of 11 judges, Supreme Court president Brenda Hale said "the decision to advise Her Majesty (Queen Elizabeth II) to prorogue was unlawful".
She said this was "because it had the effect of frustrating or preventing the ability of parliament to carry out its constitutional functions".
As a result, the suspension was "void and of no effect", Hale said, adding: "Parliament has not been prorogued."
Bercow subsequently announced that he would reconvene the Commons at 11:30 am today, while the upper House of Lords said it would return the same day.
The judges "have vindicated the right and duty of parliament to meet at this
crucial time to scrutinise the executive", Bercow said.
European lawmakers hailed the court's decision to overturn the suspension of the parliament in London as a victory for democracy.
"At least one big relief in the Brexit saga: the rule of law in the UK is alive and kicking," said Guy Verhofstadt, former Belgian premier and head of the EU parliament Brexit steering group.
A small group of protesters outside the court hailed the decision, with one, Gareth Daniels, telling AFP: "This is a great day for democracy." 'JOHNSON SHOULD RESIGN' Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the main opposition Labour party, led calls for the prime minister to step down.
"I invite Boris Johnson, in the historic words, to consider his position, and become the shortest serving prime minister there has ever been," he told his party's annual conference.
