Boris Johnson cuts short  visit to New York

Boris Johnson has had to cut short a visit to New York and is returning to the Commons facing calls to resign over his unlawful suspending of Parliament.

Before leaving the United Nations General Assembly, he was forced to telephone the Queen about his humiliating Supreme Court defeat, though it is not yet known if he apologised to her.

But Johnson and his allies are said to be livid with the judges. The pro-Brexit Daily Mail reports that during a stormy Cabinet conference call Commons leader Jacob Rees-Mogg accused judges of mounting a “constitutional coup”.

The Commons sitting, a sparsely worded Commons order paper confirms, will not include routine business like departmental questions or PMQs. But the day is still fraught with danger for the prime minister.
