Shadow cabinet office minister Jon Trickett has said Labour is “not prepared” to have a general election on Boris Johnson’s terms, adding: “we no longer trust this man."

“Unprecedented is almost too weak a word,” he told BBC Radio 4’s World at One of Tuesday’s judgement. “Lawmakers must never be law-breakers and yet we have a prime minister who has broken the law.”

Mr Trickett said that "detailed complicated questions [about Brexit]" would now be asked after MPs return to the Commons.

Pat from north London said: “The best thing about this country is its democracy. It was taken from us and now we’ve got it back.”

James from Southwark, London said: “I’m disappointed but not surprised. The judges have decided to get involved in politics “

Jochen said: “I was lying in bed when I saw the ruling on TV and I jumped out of bed and was so happy.”

Prof John Curtice, politics and elections expert, tells the BBC that the effect of Parliament resuming its work will depend on whether the "Remain alliance" of opposition parties and rebel Tories holds firm.

He says he would be "surprised" if opposition MPs voted for an election, as their legislation to block a no-deal Brexit depends on Parliament sitting on 18 October.

Among the options might be to legislate to remove the 31 October deadline for Brexit, to pass a law to hold another referendum or to try to form an alternative government themselves.

"While it’s clear what this remain alliance was opposed to – a no-deal Brexit – it’s not clear whether they can cohere around any of these alternatives," Prof Curtice says.

For the prime minister, it is now evident that the suspension of Parliament was "politically and tactically a mistake", he says.

He says public support for the suspension of Parliament was split down Remain/Leave lines, but Leavers may now wonder if the prime minister "is capable of delivering Brexit after all".

Prof Curtice says it also gave "impetus" to the opposition in the Commons and meant Mr Johnson was "at minimum seriously embarrassed" by the legal defeat.

More significantly, it may have planted "seeds of doubt" in wavering Tory MPs about whether they can trust the prime minister's judgement, he says.

When Parliament "resumes" tomorrow, what will MPs do?

The Speaker has made it clear that there will be full scope for urgent questions, ministerial statements and applications for emergency debates, but will that include a no confidence motion against the government?

On the one hand, the rebuff delivered by the Supreme Court looks like the perfect fuel for a new assault on the government; on the other hand, would it simply get in the way of attempts to prevent a no-deal Brexit?

For the cross-party alliance of Remainers which pushed the Benn Act through Parliament a few weeks ago, the priority remains to stop a no-deal exit.

That means that they will want to hold the prime minister to the bill's requirement to seek an extension to Britain's EU membership, if he has failed to come up with a new exit deal - despite his comment that he would rather die in a ditch.

5 Live's Sarah Ransome has spent the day in the town of Topsham in Devon which sits on the shores of the Exe estuary.

Sarah spoke to one woman who was on the way back from a mum and baby class: "The whole thing has just been a giant comedy of errors," she said.

"I can't quite believe we are where we are now, but I am not convinced there will be any change. I find the whole thing supremely depressing."

One man who was out walking his dog was supportive of the prime minister.

"I think Boris has got the right idea, just get on and get it finished," he said.

"It's ridiculous the amount of time we've spend on it already. The only way to get past that was to prorogue Parliament. How else was he going to do it?"

Another woman said Boris Johnson should "get his finger out and try being a prime minister, stop being such an idiot.

"I don't know how he [Boris Johnson] can get away with it. I am just so tired of it all and fed up."

Steve Baker, the Conservative MP and prominent Brexiteer, tells the BBC that the judgement has "profound" political implications and the only way forward is to hold a general election.

"What this does is deepen our political crisis. It is an earthquake moment," he says.

"We must uphold parliamentary democracy and the rule of law but the real problem we’ve got here is that parliamentarians haven’t accepted the referendum result and we need a general election to sort this out."

He said the political impact of the judgement was evident in the "jubilation of opposition politicians".

"They don’t want to leave the EU. This is a rotten Parliament, it needs to be brought to an end," he said.

Mr Baker rejects calls for the prime minister's adviser Dominic Cummings - seen as a key influence in the suspension of Parliament - to be sacked.

He says the same calls were made during the Vote Leave campaign in which they both were involved and adds that it is important not to make hasty decisions.

To recap: the Supreme Court has ruled Boris Johnson's decision to suspend Parliament was unlawful.

Mr Johnson suspended - or prorogued - Parliament for five weeks earlier this month, but judges said it was wrong to stop MPs carrying out duties in the run-up to Brexit on 31 October.

Supreme Court president Lady Hale said "the effect on the fundamentals of democracy was extreme".

The PM says he "strongly disagrees" with the ruling but will "respect" it.

A raft of MPs have now called for the prime minister to resign and some have said they would attempt to force him out if he did not go of his accord.

The president of the Supreme Court, Justice Lady Hale, has delivered the court's judgement that the decision to prorogue - or suspend - Parliament was unlawful.

But what were the key lines?

Why does this matter?

The Supreme Court has drawn a clear line in the sand that a prime minister's executive powers in this most important area of how and when Parliament opens and closes are now curtailed - for ever.

Former Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd does not believe Boris Johnson should resign.

She told BBC Radio 4’s World at One programme: “I think he should come back here and engage with MPs and with Parliament and try to help us find a solution, just as the former prime minister did, to help us leave the European Union with a majority of MPs’ support.

“It is going to be a hard thing to do. But you can’t do it by ignoring Parliament and you certainly can’t do it by ignoring the law.”
