The embattled prime minister was specifically asked about a Scottish high court opinion on Wednesday that found his request to suspend parliament was 'unlawful.'

Even Johnson's fellow Tories say the prime minister is playing politics - and trying to outflank moves to block a general election and to stop a no-deal Brexit.

Johnson said there would still be plenty of time for lawmakers to argue about Brexit when Parliament resumes on October 14. British lawmakers and European negotiators are less sure about that.A high court in Northern Ireland on Thursday dismissed the claim that a no-deal Brexit and the imposition of a hard border on the Irish island would wreck the peace process there. The court said the matter was political and not legal.

"If solutions are proposed, they will be debated, all of them - provided they respect the guiding principles of the EU," said European Parliament President David Sassoli. "But, up to now, I can say the UK hasn't proposed any alternatives, anything that's been legally credible and workable."

Boris Johnson's suspension of UK Parliament unlawful, Scottish court rulesThe highest civil court in Scotland finds in favour of more than 75 opposition MPs and Lords who had challenged the move to suspend Parliament. What a bloody mess. Poor Boris now has what he always thought he would want, the top job. Only to be faced with possibly the most challenging scenario to face any British PM since WW2. I wouldn’t trade places with him for all the money in the world! Wish they’d just stop Brexit altogether. It’s a stupid idea, pitched by idiots and grifters. Be gone!!!
