Scotland’s highest civil court has ruled that Boris Johnson's suspension of the UK Parliament is unlawful.

The judges said the prime minister was attempting to prevent Parliament holding the government to account ahead of Brexit.

A UK government appeal against the ruling is set to be heard by the Supreme Court in London.

Downing Street said it has been "consistent throughout" on the suspension, a decision formally taken by the Queen earlier on the advice of the prime minister. Former Conservative MP Dominic Grieve has said that if the government has misled the Queen, Mr Johnson should resign.

Emily Maitlis is joined by Labour's Hilary Benn, the SNP's Ian Blackford and Tory MP Tobias Ellwood who also discuss the release of the government's no-deal plans, known as Operation Yellowhammer.
