In its ruling on Tuesday, the
supreme court held that the prime minister should not have asked the Queen to
suspend parliament until October 14.
In a tweet, Joanna Cherry,
Scottish National Party lawmaker, who led a successful challenge to the
suspension in Scotland, expressed delight at the jugdement of the supreme court
and called for the resignation of the prime minister.
“Delighted that @UKSupremeCourt have
followed Scottish court & found that @BorisJohnson acted unlawfully,”
Cherry tweeted.
“Parliament must resume
immediately & he must resign.”

Jeremy Corbyn, opposition labour
party leader, also called on Johnson to “consider his position” and become Britain’s
“shortest-serving prime minister”.
Speaking at a Labour conference,
Corbyn demanded the immediate recall of parliament.
“The court has announced its
decision and it shows that the prime minister has acted wrongly in shutting
down parliament,” Corbyn said.
“It demonstrates contempt for
democracy and abuse of power by him and the supreme court, therefore, passes
the baton to the speaker to recall parliament and I will be in touch
immediately to demand parliament is recalled so that we can question the prime
minister.
“Demands that he obeys the law
that has been passed by parliament and recognised by our parliament elected by
our people to hold our government to account.
“We won’t bypass democracy.
“And I invite Boris Johnson in
the historic word to consider his position and become the shortest-serving
prime minister that has ever been.”
