Where is Boris Johnson today and what’s he said about the Supreme Court Brexit result?
BORIS Johnson has suffered a dramatic defeat in court after judges ruled his suspension of Parliament unlawful.
The Prime Minister is now facing calls to resign as his Brexit plans dramatically derailed. Amid the chaos, here’s what we know about Boris’ words, and his whereabouts.
Where is Boris Johnson today?
Boris Johnson was attending the UN annual general assembly in New York when news broke of his Supreme Court defeat.
He soon hopped on an overnight flight back to London, and was seen coming off the plane this morning, September 25.
The ebullient PM – who has so far refused to apologise over breaking the law – will join MPs at the Commons at the Commons after they convened.
It will be a sore morning for the PM after hoping not to discuss Brexit at all with Parliament until October 14.
The Tory conference – set to start on Sunday – will also be thrown into doubt as MPs are ordered to make a rapid return to Westminster.
What’s he said about the Supreme Court Brexit result?
Johnson dramatically lost his historic Supreme Court battle on the Parliament shutdown as judges ruled it unlawful.
The Prime Minister said he “strongly disagrees” with the judgement.
When told the court said the progration unlawful and undemocratic, he responded: “I’m not certain that the justices did say that. I think that they certainly thought that the prorogation we chose was not something they could approve of.
“It’s an unusual judgment to come to.”
I have to say that I strongly disagree with what the justices have found. I don’t think that it’s right but we will go ahead and of course Parliament will come back.

He added: “I do think there’s a good case for getting on with a Queen’s Speech anyway and we will do that.
“I think the most important thing is we get on and deliver Brexit on October 31 and clearly the claimants in this case are determined to frustrate that and to stop that.
“I think it would be very unfortunate if Parliament made that objective, which the people want, more difficult but we will get on.”
Johnson finished by saying: “Obviously this is a verdict that we will respect and we respect the judicial process.
“I have to say that I strongly disagree with what the justices have found. I don’t think that it’s right but we will go ahead and of course Parliament will come back.”
He last night ruled out resigning from office – but MPs are today calling on him to step down after the decisive ruling.
A jubilant Corbyn said minutes after the ruling: “I invite Boris Johnson, in the historic words, to consider his position and become the shortest serving PM there has ever been.”
