The ruling by Britain's Supreme Court that Prime Minister Boris Johnson unlawfully suspended parliament is a huge blow to his authority and complicates the already tortuous Brexit process.

Although his position in parliament is weak, opinion polls suggest his battles with MPs over Brexit are actually making him more popular with voters.Britain will leave the EU on 31 October unless it asks the bloc to delay, and the leaders of the other 27 member states agree.

This would take effect if the prime minister has failed to get a divorce deal or somehow persuaded MPs to back a"no deal" exit by 19 October.Mr Johnson could still keep to the 31 October deadline if he manages to secure a deal with the EU that wins the approval of a majority of MPs - but it is a huge task.

Ministers have indicated they will look for loopholes in the MPs' legislation in order to allow a"no deal" exit, while insisting they will uphold the law.Mr Johnson could resign rather than ask for a delay, but someone - perhaps a civil servant, or an opposition politician - would have to make the request.

He called for an election before 31 October to resolve the impasse, but opposition parties refused to support him and the motion failed.Labour said it would only back an election once"no deal" was off the table, with commentators looking towards a poll in November or December.
