Ruling announced

  • President Hale says 'no justification with such an extreme effect has been heard by the court'
  • Prorogation is void and 'is deemed as null effect'
  • Speakers of Parliament to decide what to do next
  • Court rules no step needed from Johnson
  • Johnson's lawyer has told court that he would comply with judgment

Therefore, according to the Supreme Court, Parliament is still sitting.

Pressure now on Johnson - will UK Parliament be recalled?

GBPUSD spiked up to 1.2489 since pulling back some gains.
