It. We will and the sell offs and privatisation. The nhs is not for sale, its our nhs for our people. Its our nhs for our people applause and, conference, we will make prescriptions free in england, as theyve been in wales since 2007, when charges were abolished. And i say thank you to the welsh Labour Government for the abolition of those prescription charges in wales. But we need to talk about social ca re but we need to talk about social care as well. When older people who have paid into the system all their lives need a little help, we shouldnt deny it to them. We really shouldnt. Its wrong. So we will introduce free personal care for those who need it as the first step in our plan for a National Care service. Because i believe government should provide a platform that allows eve ryo ne provide a platform that allows everyone to reach their full potential. Thats the principle behind the National Education service at the next Labour Government will create, Free Education for everyone as a right throughout life, not a privilege. Applause so no more University Tuition fees. Free childcare and a new great sure start programme, so all children get help when they need it. Free vocational and technical education, and free training for adults. And when it comes to paying for our public services, labour will raise tax. But only for the top 5 . Applause the tories will cut taxes for the highest paid, labour will make the big corporations pay the tax they owe. Big corporations pay the tax they owe. The tories will give them tax breaks. How can it be right that the Largest Companies and the wealthiest individuals are being given tax cuts whilst at the other end mums and dads are missing meals so they can feed their kids . Shouldnt it be a source of shame to our country that the United Nations yes, the United Nations had to take our government to task this year over the shocking task that 14 Million People are living in poverty in ours, the fifth richest country in the world . Let me quote directly from the un report. It said,much of the glue that has held British Society together since the Second World War has been deliberately removed and replaced with a harsh and uncaring ethos. Doesnt that sum up the tories . Harsh and uncaring ethos, in the fifth richest country in the world . Labour will stand up for tenants, for underpaid workers, and for all those struggling to make ends meet. We will start the Largest CouncilHouse Building programme in a generation. Applause because labour puts people before a privilege. So we will end austerity and help rebuild your community. We will help restore local pride, revive the high streets that are the centres of our community. You know, those high street dominated by clothes shops, graffitied roller blinds, a couple of payday loan shops and thats about it . Destruction of the centres of our communities, the place where people come together to socialise, to meet and feel part of the community, destroyed by austerity and destroyed by underfunding of local government. So it is ourjob to reverse those cuts, because all those cuts added together have caused Violent Crime to double and caused Violent Crime to double and caused underachievement to increase. Its ourjob, ourjob as a labour party, to get our economy working, in every town, every city and every region of this country, with record investment. A blitz on the problems of this country and the investment we need, and we will boost the devolved budgets in wales and scotland as well. Applause and we will upgrade our transport, energy and broadband infrastructure, with £250 billion of investment, and breathe new life into every community with a further £250 billion of capital for businesses and cooperatives. Investment on a scale our country has never known, bringing good newjobs and fresh growth to every area where you live in this country. Thats the scale of hours, of labours, ambition. No more tinkering around the edges ours, of labours ambition. Because these are not abstract numbers on a spreadsheet. They stand for an Economic Transformation that will change your daily life. Let me give you a concrete example of what it will mean. Labour will invest in crossrail further north, to link our Great Northern cities. Applause crossrailfor the applause crossrail for the north. Applause crossrailfor the north. From liverpool to hull and to newcastle in the north east. And will restore the bus services that have been cut all over the country. Leaving people isolated from their communities. Better trends, a proper bus service. Thats what labour will bring. Better trains. For decades we have all been told that economy is beyond our control. Its an Irresistible Force that can lay waste to entire communities file we can only watch on as passive spectators. Whilst we can only watch on. To the disaster before our very eyes. But do you know what . Its not true. With a serious industrial strategy, a serious industrial strategy and a radical Labour Government, the economy can be a tool in our hands rather than the master of our fate. Applause and with a government thats prepared to intervene, we can prioritise the things that matter most. Which is precisely what our times demand. Because nothing matters more than the climate emergency. Applause that means taking on the big polluters and the wealth orders who profit from the current system, bringing our emissions down to net zero wont happen by itself. It will only be possible with Massive Public investment, in Renewable Energy and green technology. Thats not a burden its an opportunity, to kick start a green Industrial Revolution. Applause and that green Industrial Revolution will create hundreds of thousands of high skill, high wage unionised jobs, as we triple solar power, double onshore wind and bring about a sevenfold increase in offshore wind projects. That is why we announced today that the next Labour Government will build three new battery plant in south wales, in stoke on trent and in swindon. Plants. The climate and environmental emergency we all face is an issue of global security. We are seeing ice caps melting, coral reefs dissolving, wildfires in the Arctic Circle and brazils right wing president bolsonaro fiddles while the amazon rainforest burns. Real security doesnt come from belligerent posturing or reckless military interventions. It comes from International Cooperation and diplomacy and addressing the root causes of the threats that we all face. 0urforeign policy, 0ur foreign policy, our international strategy, will be defined by our commitment to human rights and international justice, not enthusiasm for foreign wars that fuel rather than combat terrorism and insecurity. So it really does beggar belief that this week borisjohnson is openly talking about sending troops to saudi arabia as part of the increasingly very dangerous confrontation between saudi arabia and iran in an apparent bid to appease donald trump. Have we learnt nothing . Time and again over the last two decades, the british political and military establishments have made the wrong call on military intervention in the middle east, spreading conflict rather than settling it. We must not make those mistakes again. Under a Labour Government, britain will be a force, a pressure, for peace and for internationaljustice. Dangerous and wrong headed International Interventions have also exacerbated the Community Tensions at home. When borisjohnson tensions at home. When Boris Johnson compared tensions at home. When borisjohnson compared muslim women to letterboxes our bank robbers, it wasnt a flippant comment. It was calculated to play on peoples fears, as was pointed out in parliament. Displays of racism, anti delete my anti semitism and islamophobia, are not a sign of strength but a sign of weakness. Islamophobia and anti semitism. This conservative government as well as the far right has fuelled division in our society. They will blame peoples problems on the Migrant Worker trying to make a better life, theyll blame it on the mother who is struggling on universal credit, theyll blame it on young muslims, on young people, or anyone but themselves and their backers who benefit from a grossly unequal and rigged system. That is what tories do. Applause labour do the opposite. We will bring people together. A Labour Government will transform our economy is and our communities. We stand not just for the economy is and our communities. We stand notjust for the 52 , or the 48 , but we stand for the 99 . The Labour Government i lead will ta ke the Labour Government i lead will take on those who really run our country, the financial speculators, tax dodgers and big polluters, so the real wealth creators, the people of this country, can have the jobs, the services in the future they deserve. When labour wins, the nurse wins, the pensioner wins, the student wins, the Office Worker wins, the engineers win. We all win. The politics we stand for is about giving people who dont have a lot of money and dont have friends in high places the chance to take control of their own lives. Myjob as leader, and ourjob as the labour party is to champion those people to stand up for those communities and deliver the real change our country needs. I want to take this opportunity to thank you, every one of them, all the members of our party, our elected representatives, our trade unions for making our party such a strong and welcoming place in every community. And in every pa rt place in every community. And in every part of our country. I want to also say thank you to my community and islington north in london. Who teach me so much every day as their local mp. You know what, you learn from people when you listen to them. And i want to say thank you to all of my widest family for their support, their help, their advice, which is often freely given, and generously, and frequently. But i wa nt to generously, and frequently. But i want to say thank you to all of them for their tolerance and forbearance and the intrusions they suffer from some of the media and the abuse they suffer. And i also in particular wa nt to suffer. And i also in particular want to say thank you to my wife for all that she tolerates. I have what might be considered a different view of leadership from the one people are used to. I really do. I do believe that leaders should have strong principles that people can trust. But leaders must also listen and trust others to play their part. There are leaders in every Community Driving change. Many of them would never dream of calling themselves leaders, but they are. For example, recently im thinking ofa for example, recently im thinking of a mother i met who campaigned on behalf of the residents in her block of flats to make the landlord remove the damp. She is a leader. In theircampaign, it in their campaign, it empowered her, it empowers the whole community, and they realise that yes, they could achieve change and that strength together. I think of workers in fast food outlets organising amongst their colleagues, often working in terrible conditions, to demand a decent living wage. Those are leaders standing up in their community to try to improve conditions, safety and bring about good for the whole community. So labour is working with and supporting all of these campaigns, because our philosophy is to trust the people and give them the power to make change in every community and workplace, not hand more power to politicians. That is why if the british people elect a Labour Government in the coming election, i will be proud to be your Prime Minister, because i will be a very different kind of Prime Minister, i promise you this. Not there from a sense of born to rule entitlement. And certainly not there on a personal power trip. The shadow cabinet would confirm that. Thats because i want to put government on your side, to put power and wealth into your hands because i believe government should work for you. And together, we can go beyond defending the gains made by previous generations. We stand on the shoulders of those who went before us, but we have to take it further. And its time we started to build a country fit for the next generation. A country where young people dont fear the future, dont look forward with terror of what lies beyond school or college or university, or debt or Mental Health problems, but a country and a society where our young people can look forward to the future with confidence, with hope and with a promise that the whole community is with them and supporting them on their lifes journey. The tide is turning. The years of retreats and defeats are coming to an end. Together, we can take on the privileged and put people into power. Conference, the labour party and our movement, thank you for all you do. Thank you for the campaigning you do. Go forward to win an election for the people of this country. Hot the leaders speech has been brought forward by one day because of the momentous events at the Supreme Court in london which found the Prime Minister had acted unlawfully in suspending parliament for five weeks. Unlawfully in suspending parliament forfive weeks. Mr unlawfully in suspending parliament for five weeks. Mr corbyn unlawfully in suspending parliament forfive weeks. Mr corbyn in unlawfully in suspending parliament for five weeks. Mr corbyn in the speech today called very clearly for the Prime Minister to resign. The Prime Minister is in new york and said that while he respects the ruling, he does not agree with it. Mr corbyn today setting out his vision, notjust for mr corbyn today setting out his vision, not just for his mr corbyn today setting out his vision, notjust for his own future in terms of party leader and his ambition to be a very different Prime Minister, but going across the range of policies, that he will intend to put in place as Prime Minister if labour wins the next election. Those are the scenes at the labour conference in brighton. Youre watching bbc news. A crushing defeat for Boris Johnson, as the highest court in the land rules that he acted unlawfully , when he suspended parliament. Iijustices of the uk Supreme Court ruled unanimously, that his decision was desgined to prevent parliament from doing itsjob in the run up to the brexit deadline. The decision to advise her majesty to Prorogue Parliament was unlawful because it had the effect of frustrating or preventing the ability of parliament to carry out its constitutional functions without reasonable justification. 0utside court, there was jubilation among supporters of the businesswoman gina miller, one of those who brought the case. The ruling today speaks volumes. This Prime Minister must open the doors of Parliament Tomorrow. Across the atlantic in new york, the Prime Minister said that while he respected the court, he did not agree with its ruling. Obviously this is a verdict that we will respect and we respect thejudicial process. I have to say, i strongly disagree with what the justices have found. I dont think that its right. At westminster, preparations are being made for mps to return to work tomorrow morning, as the speaker confirmed. I have instructed the house authorities to prepare not for the recall, the prorogation was illegal and is therefore void. To prepare for the resumption of the business of the house. Now doubt that the main story today is happening in westminster that where its difficult to exaggerate the importance of what happened at the importance of what happened at the highest court in the uk. 11 justices agreeing unanimously that the Prime Minister pass decision to ask the queen to suspend parliament for five weeks was in fact unlawful. By any measure, the ruling represents a devastating defeat for Boris Johnson, for his cabinet, and for those advisers who were in involved in the original decision. The judges took the view that the suspension was designed to frustrate parliament from scrutinising the government as the brexit deadline approaches. The house of commons will now resume its business at 11 30 tomorrow morning. Boris johnson, whos in new york and the United Nations general assembly, says he strongly disagrees with the ruling. His opponents, including laboursJeremy Corbyn, have called on him to resign immediately. Well have more in a moment. Joining me from westminster now the leader of the Brexit Party Nigel farage. Good of you to wait to talk to us. Your First Response to the ruling itself . We heard the Prime Minister say that he respects the court and disagrees with the ruling. Do you disagree, or agree . It looks like a politicaljudgment more disagree, or agree . It looks like a political judgment more than disagree, or agree . It looks like a politicaljudgment more than a legal one but its done. Its not going to be changed, the highest court in the land has decided the Prime Minister gave unlawful advice to her majesty the queen, and that is where we are. It seems to me that as a matter of honour, borisjohnson it seems to me that as a matter of honour, Boris Johnson has it seems to me that as a matter of honour, borisjohnson has to put himself before the houses of Parliament Tomorrow and say, i offer my resignation, do you accept . You said in passing that it was a political ruling. Are you really questioning the kind ofjudgment and quality of thought behind the judgment of the ruling . Im questioning that we had a Supreme Court set up just over 20 years ago. Clearly theres been a big change in the constitution and in many ways it isnt until today that weve woken up isnt until today that weve woken up to it. That is a question, a debate for the coming months and yea rs. Debate for the coming months and years. How are we to order ourselves in the country . For many, the ruling isa in the country . For many, the ruling is a shock. It doesnt get away from the fact that its happened. We have the fact that its happened. We have the extraordinary situation where even the labour party look united, those who want to stop brexit can claim they are on the side of democracy, and those who spent 50 yea rs democracy, and those who spent 50 years wanting powers to be handed to brussels now claim they have the sovereignty of parliament in their hearts. What this comes down to is an absolutely catastrophic political judgment on behalf of the government to call for a queens speech, and the prorogation of parliament for five weeks. It was a political decision that didnt have a big upside. It united the establishment, it united the remain community and it united the remain community and it has been a disaster. Lets spell out where you think that leaves the Prime Minister. I think hes in trouble, real trouble. Hes Prime Minister. I think hes in trouble, realtrouble. Hes in trouble, realtrouble. Hes in trouble, his advisers are in trouble. The prospects of sleeping on the 31st of october have com pletely on the 31st of october have completely evaporated prospects of leaving. Theres even the of a short term caretaker government, i dont know. I think there must be a general election. Parliament and the government have ceased to function. In that case, to extend your answer, to talk about the brexit process, as you say, hurtling towards the 31st of october. Is that in abeyance . Where do we stand with it . What will happen is that someone will go to the summit on the 17th of october in brussels, it might be borisjohnson, or someone else they will ask for an extension and the eu will decide how long that extension will be. The most likely outcome is that we have a general election. Its not impossible, not impossible that a remain parliament could force a second referendum, buti remain parliament could force a second referendum, but i doubt it. The most likely outcome is extension and then a general election and maybe then well get some resolution. Thanks maybe then well get some resolution. Thanks for maybe then well get some resolution. Thanks forjoining us. Nigel farage, the leader of the brexit party, with some clear views on how he thinks things might develop from now on, and reaction to the ruling by the Supreme Court. After hearing that, lets take a moment to look back at the days unprecedented proceedings at the Supreme Court, and my colleague Richard Lister has this report. Rain might have muted brexit protests, but this was always going to be a day of reckoning. Inside, thejustices had to weigh up conflicting judgments on whether the suspension of parliament was done legally. This was their unanimous verdict. The decision to advise her majesty to Prorogue Parliament was unlawful because it had the effect of frustrating or preventing the ability of parliament to carry out its constitutional functions without reasonable justification. That echoed the judgment by the court of session in edinburgh, which said the Prime Minister intended to stymie parliamentary scrutiny of his brexit plans. The high court in london had said judges shouldnt weigh in on such political questions, but the Supreme Courtjustices said that was wrong. The courts have exercised a supervisory jurisdiction over the lawfulness of acts of the government for centuries. As long ago as 1611, the court held that, the king, who was then the government, has no prerogative but that which the law of the land allows him. This case, she said, was about defining the limits of Prime Ministerial power and Parliament Must always be able to exercise its authority over government. In the words of lord bingham, senior law lord, quote, the conduct of government by a Prime Minister and cabinet collectively responsible and accountable to parliament lies at the heart of westminster democracy. This is not a standard or normal prorogation. When parliament was prorogued two weeks ago, the speaker made his feelings clear and the Supreme Court agreed with that sentiment today. Although mps filed out as requested, the courtsjudgment was that they had no need to because borisjohnsons advice to the queen was unlawful. When the royal commissioners walked into the house of lords it was as if they had walked in with a blank sheet of paper. The prorogation was also void and of no effect. Parliament has not been prorogued. The court said it was now up to parliamentarians to decide how and when to resume the session. For the businesswoman who has battled for years to give parliament its say on brexit, this was a landmark moment. The ruling today speaks volumes. This Prime Minister must open the doors of Parliament Tomorrow. Mps must get back and be brave and bold in holding this unscrupulous government to account. Thank you. The High Court Said this was a judgment on the boundaries of government power, not on brexit, but many in the uk will see those two issues as one and the same. Richard lister, bbc news. Gina millerjoins us now, the businesswoman and anti Brexit Campaign who brought the successful case against this set of decisions by the government. Thank you for joining us again. We heard your response and what you said when the ruling came out. What are the implications . From a constitutional point of view, it means that a Prime Minister cannot close down parliament at any time, but has to a lwa ys parliament at any time, but has to always act within the law. For where we are particularly at this moment in time, with the 31st of october looming, its the fact that mps have to be involved in scrutinising Prime Ministers executive actions from tomorrow until whenever it is we leave or dont leave. There were several very strongly worded sections in the ruling, and certainly they pulled no punches. What stood out for you, in terms of the ruling delivered by the president . Its extraordinary that it was 11 0, to have an unequivocal 11 judges ruling together, and that shows the enormity of this action in unlawfully advising the queen. Secondly, i think its the fact of the words when they said the effect was extreme, to close down parliament in this way they viewed as extreme action, that stood out. The other thing is, when baroness hale insisted and emphasised the fa ct hale insisted and emphasised the fact that this is not about brexit, andi fact that this is not about brexit, and i know many commentators are trying to conflate the two issues, but brexit is one more issue. Much more fundamental is the separation of powers, and our parliamentary sovereignty. Without this case, the Prime Ministers president of being able to close down parliament and deny sovereignty of parliament would have stood on our books and in our constitution, so i think its very important to understand how fundamental a landmark case this is. Is not surprising that things have become conflated, because they have been intricately linked all along, and its the reason the case was brought all along, because we are hurtling towards 0ctober brought all along, because we are hurtling towards october the 31st. Brought all along, because we are hurtling towards october the 315t. |j understand they are closely connected but, at the same time, its very important that people who are trying to politicise this decision and saying the courts have trodden on political territory, they have not, the courts have not made a political ruling. They have made a legal ruling, based on our parliamentary sovereignty, based on our constitution, and based on the fa ct our constitution, and based on the fact that a government and a Prime Minister is not above the law. It was the same principle in my first case and its the principle again here. Those people trying to politicise this decision, commentators and politicians, have to be very careful of how they are damaging our democracy. Do you think the Prime Ministers position is tenable . That will be up to the Prime Minister and the questions he has to answer in court, but weve never had this situation. I would not have had to bring this case if the Prime Minister hadnt tested his powers in our constitution this way, and it dismays me he would go to such lengths, and i hope he doesnt do that in the next few weeks. There isa do that in the next few weeks. There is a view that what this has done is to confuse things significantly, its u nsettled to confuse things significantly, its unsettled people, its alarmed people, they see the country as u nsta ble people, they see the country as unstable and divided, at what you have done is worsen has worsened that. I would say that if the Prime Minister was to act within the law and constitutional norms there would be no reason for anybody to be alarmed. What is alarming is that he is willing to stress test our constitution, because it appears he has so little control over what is happening and his advisers. They are acting ina happening and his advisers. They are acting in a way which is unconstitutional, ungentlemanly, and i think he is going to carry on testing our system and our stability is in next few weeks. Thank you. Gina miller, talking to us from westminster. That is her response, after being a prominent member of the team that brought that case. We heard Jeremy Corbyn earlier in brighton at the Party Conference referring to this, along with many other things in terms of policy, so lets pick up with the shadow chancellor, labours john lets pick up with the shadow chancellor, laboursjohn mcdonnell. Thank you forjoining us from brighton. I am just thinking, first of all, lets be very clear. Labour is calling today for borisjohnson to resign. Very clear. Labour is calling today for Boris Johnson to resign. Yes. Jeremy said earlier in parliamentary language should consider his position. Having directly interpreted that, that means he should resign. Ithink interpreted that, that means he should resign. I think the conservative party now itself has to consider this matter and take a decision and question the wisdom of them installing borisjohnson as leader of their party and Prime Minister. Weve never been in this situation before, where there has been a Prime Minister basically brought against by the Supreme Court, a Prime Minister actually breaking the law and using his power for his own personal, political interest. So i think the conservative party have a responsibility now to consider the question, thejudgment responsibility now to consider the question, the judgment that they mate in installing this person is the leader of their party. That they made. There is intense interest in what happens tomorrow when mps reconvene at 11 30am in the commons. Can you share what labour intends to do . We will be talking to the other opposition parties and others across the house of commons to discuss first of all bringing the Prime Minister to parliament, making sure he is thoroughly questioned about his behaviour, making sure he is questioned also about the threat of a no deal brexit, and whether he will now comply with the law. We will now comply with the law. We will see what answers we receive from him and then consider what the other opposition parties with the other opposition parties with the other opposition parties what the next steps are. I think this time the onus is on the shoulders of members of the conservative party to make their decision about this man. We cannot have a Prime Minister who feels he is above the law, and i find it remarkable that the conservative party itself now has not taken some action, so we will listen overnight to see what their views are, but i believe the onus is on their shoulders initially. For those people, including labour members, who think that holding a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister is the natural of action, what would you say . That may well be. We will consult with the other opposition parties and also mps across the house and then consider the next steps. We need to take this in stages. I think the first stage is for the conservative party itself to recognise its got a responsibility here. They installed this man as their leader, they installed him as Prime Minister, and now we have a Prime Minister, for the first time in history, judged as breaking the law, thinking he is above the law. I think the conservative party should act. We will then consult with other opposition parties and, as i say, across the house about next steps, and of course the vote of no confidence is available to us, but we will consider that as we go forward in the next 2a hours. We will consider that as we go forward in the next 24 hours. The Prime Minister is in new york, as you know, and he spoke earlier saying, while he respected the judges and court, he strongly disagreed with the ruling. Is that kind of formulation, if you present that tomorrow in the commons, which he may well do, one which some mps may find acceptable . To be frank, evenin may find acceptable . To be frank, even in his own party, that will not be seen to be acceptable. He is trying to set this up as though this isa trying to set this up as though this is a victim as if he is a victim of the various parliamentary or legal institutions. It is nothing of the kind. This is about a Prime Minister, an elitist Prime Minister who thinks he is above the law, that the rules dont apply to him but we fought for our democracy, we fought for the rule of law, and those largely working people who fought for the right to vote fought for their rights before the courts. We cant allow a Prime Minister to ride roughshod over those rights. Nobody should be above the law, and itjust demonstrates to me, his response, his sense of entitlement, his sense that he is above the law, i find that he is above the law, i find that unacceptable we should not tolerate from our Prime Minister. And i think conservatives have a responsibility now to hold this man to account and to bring him to book. Thank you forjoining us from brighton and doing battle with the noise behind you. Thank you very much. Thank you. John mcdonnell, the shadow chancellor in brighton, with a crowd coming out of the hole. As we heard, the speaker of the commons, john bercow, welcomed the ruling. In an unusual scene, he came out of the commons on to College Green to make an announcement that mps would return to the commons tomorrow morning and then, as weve heard, the labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, calling on mrjohnson to consider his position, the phrase he used. Our political correspondence Jonathan Blake reports now on the political reaction. Joy, surprise, maybe disbelief at the Supreme Court ruling which was as clear as it could have been. A unanimous decision that the Prime Minister had acted unlawfully. The highest court in the United Kingdom has unanimously found that his advice to prorogue this parliament, his advice given to her majesty the queen, was unlawful, his position untenable and he should have the guts for once to do the decent thing and resign. The court ruled borisjohnsons decision to Prorogue Parliament prevented it from doing itsjob, without good reason vindication for those who had argued that all along. I think the scale of this victory for us and defeat for Boris Johnson is beyond what anyone expected. I think its absolutely right that he considers his position. I dont think we can carry on with a Prime Minister who has effectively been shown to have lied on such a major issue. Parliament isnt suspended. It has not even adjourned. Effectively it is still sitting, and the sooner we get back into that chamber the better. The extraordinary ruling left the Prime Ministers supporters furious. The Prime Minister accepted the decision but said the legal challenges that led to it were against brexit. I strongly disagree, i have respect for our judiciary, against brexit. I strongly disagree, i have respect for ourjudiciary, i dont think this was the right decision, i think the prerogative of prorogation has been used for centuries without this kind of challenge. Its perfectly usual to have a queens speech, thats what we wa nt have a queens speech, thats what we want to do, but more importantly, lets 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, and we have a parliament that is unable to be prorogued, doesnt want to have an election, and i think its time we took things forward. At the labour conference in brighton, Jeremy Corbyn make the most of the moment with an unscheduled appearance. The Supreme Court therefore passes the baton to the speaker to recall parliament. I will be in touch immediately to demand that parliament is recalled so that we can question the Prime Minister. Other Opposition Party leaders quick to call for the Prime Minister to resign. He has acted unlawfully in trying to silence parliament, trying to silence the voices of the people, because he doesnt want to be held to account. He doesnt want to have to answer questions about his disastrous brexit policy. In doing so, he was prepared to mislead the queen and the whole country. In light of this judgment today, a Prime Minister with any honour would tender his resignation. We have a Prime Minister who has been found by the Supreme Court to have acted unlawfully for no good reason, and to have a Prime Minister continue in office in those circumstances is unthinkable. Mps needed no encouragement to return to the commons. Some took their seats within minutes of the ruling. The speaker, never shy of stating parliament is sovereign, said it should be back in business tomorrow. In the light of that explicit judgment, i have instructed the house authorities to prepare not for the recall, the prorogation was unlawful and is void, to prepare for the resumption of the business of the house of commons. At a stroke, the Supreme Court decision has topped the government in its tracks and left the Prime Minister first frustrated by parliament and now constrained by the courts. Jonathan blake, bbc news, westminster. Joining me now from westminster is lord young, the former conservative cabinet minister and government chief whip, do you think the Prime Ministers position is tenable . If he does a number of things. First, he has to rebuild trust with parliament, which is severely bruised at the moment, andi is severely bruised at the moment, and i think he can do that as long as the current mood of the house of commons is there. Jacob rees mogg needs to go. No leader of the house should ever have agreed to this prorogation first or second, he needs to rebuild a unity in the party, restore the whip to the 21 who lost it and, at some point, bring back some of the very able people who left the government in july and subsequent months. Thirdly, i think hes got to stop talking about leaving on october the 31st come what may. If there is no deal, he cant leave on october the 31st. Also, i think, he cant leave on october the 31st. Also, ithink, a he cant leave on october the 31st. Also, i think, a little bit less defiance, which weve just heard, a bit more humility about the court decision. He lost and he should accept it with good grace, rather than carry on grumbling about it. Thats quite a list, lord young, if i may say so. How likely is it do you think that he will fulfil those conditions . On the last one, if he tries to leave without a deal, he will be back in the courts, so i hope that doesnt happen. I think there are moves to restore the whip to some of those who lost it, and i welcome that, so i hope we can make progress there. On my first, i think that, if nobody resigned over this fairly catastrophic error of judgment, i think that would be less than credible, and i think that perhaps the attorney general, who a p pa re ntly perhaps the attorney general, who apparently said it was lawful to prorogue, he should consider his position, and the leader of the house of commons should consider his position as to whether that was the right thing to do, as leader of the house of commons, to agree to such a long prorogation, which has now been found to be unlawful. Baker there is a view that the only thing to do to resolve this is to hold a general election. Is that right . |j resolve this is to hold a general election. Is that right . I am not sure that solves the problem. If you are going to do that, you would have to getan are going to do that, you would have to get an extension, otherwise you have a general election and we crash out without a deal. But im not sure a general election will solve it. You may find there is no majority in parliament for any one party. I think the right thing to do is actually to go and get a deal, perhaps not that different from the one that theresa may negotiated, but perhaps somewhat adjusted, and then in october or perhaps the bennington of november represent it to the house of commons, which has ruled out no deal, which i dont think wa nts to out no deal, which i dont think wants to remain, and i think that is the most likely thing, despite Everything Else thats been going on, that we secure a deal which commands a majority, with perhaps enough labour mps supporting it to counterbalance the members of the erg who wont, and we leave with a deal. I hope thats where we end up. Good to talk to you. Thank you. Lord young, the former conservative chief whip and cabinet minister. Before i bring in my guests, in the past few minutes, donald trump and Boris Johnson have been speaking at a News Conference at the un in new york, and the Prime Minister was asked if he would resign following todays ruling. Lets be absolutely clear, we respect the judiciary in our country, we respect the court. I disagree profoundly with what they had to say. I think it was entirely right to go ahead with a plan for a queens speech. We havent had a queens speech. We havent had a queens speech. We havent had a queens speech for 400 years. Weve got a dynamic domestic agenda we need to be getting on with, more police on the streets, investment in our nhs, improving our education, and we need to get on with that and, frankly, we need to get on with brexit. The british people, whether they voted to leave or remain, we need to get this done by october the sist, need to get this done by october the 31st, and thats what we are going to do. Prime minister speaking at the un a time ago. Im joined by a barrister and a legal commentator. Good to have you both with us, on this all days. Alison, you know, can i paraphrase what the Prime Minister was saying a sickly, yes, i respect what is being said, but i want to get on with the other stuff, in other Words Business as usual first that possible . Is difficult to see how it can be, because the Supreme Court made it clear that prorogation was unlawful, and whether the Prime Minister agrees with it or not. The implication is that Parliament Never ended. It was not suspended, and i think hes never really going to get business as usual in response. When you pick out some of the key phrases in the ruling and it was written in pretty forceful terms, which clearly surprised lots of people who are used to this landscape, what fore you stood out most . The key principle is that prorogation is unlawful if it has the effect of frustrating the ability of parliament to get on with its constitutional function. Parliamentary sovereignty, unless there is a legaljustification for tip then they look at the facts and say, actually, there is not that reasonable justification, there was no witness statement from anyone, the Prime Minister or any member of the Prime Minister or any member of the government, signed with a statement of truth saying, this is what we meant by this. John majors witness statement was not contradicted. The most striking bit, perhaps, is that phrase at the end, that order that the queen effectively had read out in parliament might as well have been a blank piece of paper, because it was null and void, it was null and void from the beginning. With that in mind, iam from the beginning. With that in mind, i am wondering what kind of light you might shed on the process that led to 11 justices, 11 0 was the final score, 11 justices putting themselves firmly behind this robust ruling . What can you tell us about that process behind the scenes . Ruling . What can you tell us about that process behindthescenes . Ive not been involved behind the scenes, but what we know from how they normally act in this case is they will have listened carefully to the evidence all the way through, and there are clear arguments to explain that this is something the court can look at. We had lots of questioning from the justices of the Supreme Court making it clear they were thinking about the effect of this particular decision. I think that is what led to the 11 0 decision, because they are looking at long term constitutional principles, and they are saying, we have as courts always put common law limits on the school of on the scope of prerogative powers, so why should this be different . They said, look at our constitutional principles. We have parliamentary sovereignty, an idea of accountable government, representative democracy, and then they looked carefully to say, well, look at the circumstances, and the amount of time we had until exit day. Five of those eight weeks would have been prorogued. It is all of those circumstances, i think, combined which led to the 11 0 decision. We are at a time, but youve made your point clearly, and we are grateful. The combined brainpower is rather terrifying thank you both for coming in, on this day of all days. To have you with us.
