Tom Brake, the Liberal Democrats' foreign affairs spokesman, has told 5 live that he thinks the Supreme Court ruling that Parliament must trigger Article 50 will not "jeopardise" the government's timetable for leaving the EU.

Speaking to Adrian Chiles on 5 live Daily, he said: "What it does do is ensure that instead of the government simply railroading this through, and Theresa May deciding what is best for our relationship with the EU in the future - actually it's something parliament can be involved with, and gives an opportunity for the people to feed into the process. That was going to be denied until the Supreme Court said otherwise."

UKIP MP Douglas Carswell responded: "I don't think you'll succeed in frustrating the will of the people, but I do think you undermine the possibility that we might create that new mood of national cohesion that we need."

Brake added: "I'm not seeking to frustrate the will of the people. What I'm seeking to do is ensure our new relationship with the EU is one that does not damage very heavily major sectors of industry around the UK."
