The video will start in 8 Cancel Prime Minister Boris Johnson has refused to resign amid intense pressure for him to quit after the Supreme Court this morning ruled suspending Parliament was unlawful. Eleven justices at Britain's highest court unanimously found there was "no justification" in shutting down the Commons for five weeks. "The effect on the fundamentals of our democracy was extreme," Lady Hale said. Mr Johnson, who is currently in New York, said he "strongly disagreed" with the decision, as Downing Street confirmed he would not step down. He said in a statement: "Obviously this is a verdict we will respect, we will respect the judicial process. "I don't think that it's right, but we will go ahead and of course Parliament will come back." And he refused to apologise as he declared the ruling was "not the right decision". MPs are now being recalled to the Commons at 11.30am tomorrow. Buckingham Palace has yet to respond to the ruling, with the Queen on her annual summer break at Balmoral in the Scottish Highlands. Proroguing Parliament prevented it from carrying out its duties in a crucial period before the Brexit deadline, Lady Hale added. "This court has already concluded that the prime minister's advice to Her Majesty was unlawful, void and of no effect," she said. "This means that the Order in Council to which it led was also unlawful, void and of no effect and should be quashed. "The prorogation was also void and of no effect. "Parliament has not been prorogued. "This is the unanimous judgement of all 11 justices." The decision is a devastating blow for Mr Johnson who insisted it was necessary to suspend Parliament. He could face a no confidence vote if he resists calls to stand down, according to reports. It comes as the former London Mayor is now odds-on to be gone by the end of the year after the landmark ruling. The odds for the PM to be turfed out of Downing Street stand at 10/11 according to bookmakers Betfair. And the likelihood of a General Election is now 4/9. Number 10 sources reportedly said they were "processing" the judgement. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is among MPs calling for the Tory leader to "consider his position". "I invite Boris Johnson in the historic words to consider his position and become the shortest-serving Prime Minister there's ever been," he told delegates at the Labour party conference in Brighton. Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson insisted he must go after "misleading the Queen and the country", adding that Mr Johnson "was not fit to be Prime Minister". Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage also stuck the boot in, tweeting how prorogation and calling a Queen's speech was "the worst political decision ever". And he warned Britain would not leave the EU on October 31. His call was echoed by the SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford who declared: "We must be back in Parliament immediately. "We want to get back to work. On the back of this, Boris Johnson must resign." And Scott
