THE SNP's Westminster leader has said "we need to remove" Boris Johnson from office after the Supreme Court today ruled the PM had acted unlawfully in his suspension of Parliament. 

Supreme Court Justice Lady Hale said Johnson's five-week prorogation of Parliament was null and void as she made her announcement this morning.

MPs are now set to return to the House of Commons tomorrow morning.

After the court's verdict was revealed, Ian Blackford said opposition parties must "come together" and "force a vote of no confidence".

He added that in Scotland the SNP is ready for a General Election.

Blackford said: "Well I’m making it very clear, to all the other opposition parties, if Boris doesn’t do the right thing, this is a man who’s shown himself of being prepared to stop at nothing. He’s already threatening to ignore an act of Parliament which states that we will not leave the European Union on a No-Deal basis. We have to bring this to an end.

"And it does mean that the opposition is going to have to come together we’re going to have to force a vote of no confidence. We cannot tolerate that, this man who’s behaving in an undemocratic manner, that is behaving like a dictator, has to be removed from office. And the opposition has to come together, the opposition has to do its job. We need to remove him and we need to do that through a motion of no confidence leading to a General Election."

The BBC reporter replied: “To be clear, when would you table that? Because obviously from Labour’s point of view they would regard it as to their advantage to delay that vote of confidence until after October 31st when Mr Johnson would have failed to meet his do or die pledge. You’re suggesting you can’t wait until then?”

Blackford responded: “I think Parliament has come together to make sure we pass the Act that blocks No Deal at the end of October and of course we need to be careful that that can be enacted. So we need to take the necessary steps to do that. Once we’re satisfied that that is the case, then we need to have that vote of no confidence. But it has to come quickly, we have to seize the moment, we cannot leave him in office. He has to be removed. The opposition parties have got to accept their responsibility.

“Let me say to the others that in Scotland we’re ready for this, I want the opportunity to put ourselves in front of the electorate and we will take the fight to our opponents in Scotland and I’m confident the SNP will increase their representation. We will do our job to bring this government to an end. The other opposition parties have got to do the same.”

But not everybody is on the same page. Earlier, a Labour spokesperson refused to comment when asked if the party would support a vote of no-confidence in the Government.

Any MP can propose a no-confidence vote but that doesn't mean it would be debated in the Commons. Only if the leader of the opposition, currently Jeremy Corbyn, introduces the motion will the Government have to provide time for the discussion to take place.

And on Twitter MP David Gauke - who was one of the 21 MPs expelled from the Conservative Party earlier this month after voting against the Government to prevent a No-Deal Brexit - said he wouldn't support a no-confidence motion.
