Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson says the prime minister has to understand that "actions have consequences".

"Even my five-year-old knows that if you do something wrong you have to say sorry.

"If my son can apologise for kicking a football indoors, surely the prime minster can have the humility to say sorry for misleading the Queen and illegally shutting down our democracy?", she says.

Labour's leader says Boris Johnson is not fit for the office of prime minister and thinks he is above the law.

Speaker John Bercow has rebuked SNP Westminster Leader Ian Blackford for calling on the prime minister to "end his lying".

Mr Bercow said he wanted to ensure Mr Blackford was not suggesting the PM had lied to the House of Commons. Mr Blackford agreed.

"We have reached a difficult and dangerous point," Mr Blackford continues.

"We have a prime minister standing here in Parliament that he sought to silence.

"The prime minister fought the law but the law won.

"Let me be clear to the prime minister.

"The opposition must unite to trigger a vote of no confidence to bring this chaotic government down."

He says he wants a general election "as quick as possible".

Ex-Conservative MP Sam Gyimah - who joined the Lib Dems earlier this month - responds to the PM's accusations of cowardice, suggesting trying to stop a no-deal Brexit is "not cowardly".

Some MPs - including Labour's Stella Creasy and Louise Haigh - are criticising the behaviour inside the Commons tonight.

And ex-Lib Dem leader Tim Farron suggests around 80 Tories did not join in the Tory Party's clapping at Boris Johnson.

"Sorry is indeed the hardest word for the prime minister," SNP's Westminster leader Ian Blackford says.

He says the prime minister is not above the law.

"Have you no shame prime minister?" Mr Blackford says.

"He is quite simply not fit for office."

SNP Westminister Leader Ian Blackford says: "Perhaps the prime minister might start to show some respect for the judiciary."

Mr Blackford also pays tribute to his SNP colleague Joanna Cherry who brought one of the challenges against the government.

Rory Stewart - who quit as a cabinet minister after Boris Johnson became PM - says it is not appropriate for a British PM to second-guess the Supreme Court.

"He is wrong," says Tory MP Mr Stewart.

Meanwhile, the SNP's Stewart Hosie says "the silence on the Tory backbenches" behind the PM "speaks volumes" - while Independent MP Nick Boles contemplates on Mr Johnson's premiership so far.

Mr Johnson claims that Jeremy Corbyn is being "gagged", "muzzled" and "held captive by his colleagues".

"I say free the Islington One," Mr Johnson says.

"He can't control his own party, he can't decide whether he's for leave or for remain, he's being held captive by his colleagues," the PM adds.

"It is absolutely true that negotiations are difficult but we are making progress," Mr Johnson says.

He adds that an act passed by MPs designed to avoid a no-deal Brexit had made negotiations harder.

"No prime minister is above the law," Mr Corbyn says.

"Quite simply for the good of this country, he should go."

Mr Corbyn asks whether the prime minister will refer himself for investigation over a grant to a firm owned by a US businesswoman he was close to.

Mr Corbyn highlights a section of the Yellowhammer documents where it says low income groups will be disproportionally affected in a no-deal Brexit.

"They simply do not care," Mr Corbyn says of the "damning document".

"It's only right this government should expect more transparency."

"Will the prime minister publish these papers and allow them to be debated in this house of Parliament?"

Mr Corbyn says that the prime minister has put no effort into negotiations with the EU.

"This house has yet to see any detail on what the government seeks to negotiate," he says.

MPs are tweeting in reaction to Mr Johnson's speech - in which he said he thought the 11 Supreme Court judges were wrong in their judgement.

The Green Party's Caroline Lucas calls his speech "utterly shameless", while Labour's Chi Onwurah said it "demeans our democracy".

Labour's Matt Western says: "Our country is better than him", while Angela Eagle says the PM showed "no humility, no remorse".

Jeremy Corbyn says the PM has been "so eager to avoid scrutiny".

The Yellowhammer documents - on preparations for a no-deal Brexit - pose many questions, he says.

"I would like to start by asking the PM why the government described leaked Yellowhammer documents in August as 'out of date'."

He says the government then produced the same documents in October.

He says the government has tried to "hide the truth".

The PM accuses opposition MPs of "selfishness and political cowardice" as he addresses Parliament.
