NEW: Boris Johnson tells UK media

“I don’t think the justices remotely excluded the possibility of having a queens speech but what we will certainly do is ensure parliament has plenty of time to debate Brexit”

More Johnson

“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”

💥Johnson challenges court:

“I strongly disagree with this decision of the Supreme Court. I have the upmost respect for our judiciary, I don’t think this was the right decision I think that the prorogation has been used for centuries without this kind of challenge”

💥Johnson more - Parliament will come back

“I don’t think that it’s right but we will go ahead and of course parliament will come back.”

💥Johnson implicit attack

“It is perfectly usual to have a queens speech that is what we want to do but more importantly let’s be in no doubt there are a lot of people who want to frustrate brexit. There are a lot of people who want to stop this country coming out of the Eu”

💥Johnson continues attack

“We have a parliament that is unable to be prorogued, doesn’t want to have an election and I think it is time we took things forward”
