...Has just announced it's decision.
[cheering and applause]
And it shows that the prime
minister has acted wrongly
in shutting down parliament.
[cheering and applause]
It demonstrates a contempt for
democracy and an abuse of power by him.
And the Supreme Court therefore
passes the baton to the speaker
to recall parliament.
I will be in touch immediately to
demand that parliament is recalled
so that we can question that
prime minister ...
[cheering and applause]
demand that he obeys the law
that's passed by parliament,
and recognise that our parliament
is recognised by our people
to hold our government to account.
A Labour government would want
to be held to account.
We wouldn't bypass democracy.
[applause]
And I invite Boris Johnson,
in the historic words,
to consider his position.
[cheering and applause]
– Johnson out. Johnson out.
– I got that message.
And become the shortest serving
prime minister there's ever been.
So obey the law, take no deal
off the table and have an election
to elect a government that
respects democracy,
that respects the rule of law
and brings power back
to the people, not usurps it,
in the way that Boris Johnson has done.
[applause]
Conference, I thank you.
