British Prime Minister Boris Johnson today said that the UK Supreme Court’s decision of finding the suspension of parliament “unlawful” was not right but added that it’s a verdict that they shall respect.
“We are going to get on and deliver Brexit on October 31,” Johnson added. “Getting a deal is not made much easier by this kind of stuff in parliament or the courts.”
The GBP/USD edged higher modestly on Johnson’s comments and was last seen trading at 1.2480, adding 0.4% on the day. Below are some additional quotes, per Reuters.
“Parliament will have plenty of time to debate Brexit.”
“Now is the chance for us to get a Brexit deal.”
“A lot of people are trying to frustrate Brexit.”
