Johnson reacts to ruling
- Supreme Court ruling is not right but we will respect it
- There is a good case for getting on with the Queen's speech
- "As the law currently stands, the UK leaves the EU on Oct 31, come what may"
- We are going to get on and deliver Brexit on Oct 31
- "Parliament has been debating Brexit for three years solidly now is the chance for us to get a deal, come out of the Eu on Oct 31 and that is what we are going to do"
- Of course parliament will come back
- Getting a deal is not made much easier by this kind of stuff in parliament or the courts
What a disastrous start for him as Prime Minister.
Parliament will now sit until 2-3 days before the Queen's Speech on Oct 14. The Conservative annual conference is next week and that might lead to a few more days off, unless parliament decides to punish Johnson & Co.
