The pound fell yesterday and is still weak this morning as Parliament reconvened after prorogation was deemed unlawful by the Supreme Court. The drop is possibly due to increased uncertainty and the expectation of an election motion, which Attorney General Geoffrey Cox said would be coming shortly. Labour have already said that they will not back a general election until the threat of a no-deal Brexit is completely removed.
Heated debated ensued as MPs returned to work, with Johnson stating that the Supreme Court had been “wrong to pronounce on a political question.” He urged opposition parties to “finally face a day of reckoning with the voters” in the form of a vote of no confidence or a general election. Passionate speeches came from many MPs, with the likes of Labour MP Paulo Sheriff warning the Prime Minister to moderate his use of “inflammatory” and “dangerous” language.
