The UK’s highest court is due to hand down its historic ruling on the legality of the five-week suspension of parliament.
Boris Johnson could recall parliament if Britain’s highest court rules he unlawfully suspended it, a government lawyer says, after judges heard the prime minister wanted a shutdown because it was an obstacle to his Brexit plans.
The simmering showdown between UK prime minister Boris Johnson and the parliament over Brexit has come to a head as lawmakers delivered three defeats to the government’s plans for leaving the European Union.
British MPs have demanded that Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government release officials’ private correspondence about plans for Brexit, as the government prepared to suspend parliament and send rebellious lawmakers home until two weeks before the country is supposed to leave the European Union.
