A belligerent British prime minister Boris Johnson went on the attack
on Wednesday night (26 September) in a heated debate in the House of
Commons.
Johnson criticised the Supreme Court's decision that on Tuesday found him breaking the law by suspending parliament in the run-up to the UK's exit from the EU on 31 October.
Johnson, after returning early from the UN general assembly's meeting in New York, refused to resign or apologise following the court decision and challenged the opposition to trigger an election through a no-confidence vote.
"The court was wrong to pronounce on what was essentially a political question at a time of great national controversy," he said.
The unrepentant premier attacked the opposition and accused them of cowardice for rejecting twice his earlier efforts to push for an election.
