POLL: Will the Supreme Court ruling delay Brexit?

It comes as the Labour party will not "frustrate" the process for invoking Article 50, Jeremy Corbyn said after the Supreme Court ruled that Parliament must give permission to start the formal mechanism for Brexit.

But the Labour leader said his party would seek to amend the legislation in order to prevent Theresa May allowing the UK to become a "bargain-basement tax haven".

By a majority of eight to three, judges at the Supreme Court rejected the Government's argument that Mrs May could use prerogative powers to trigger the talks under Article 50 of the EU treaties, but must first seek Parliament's approval.

Ministers are now expected to publish a short bill authorising the invocation of Article 50, with votes to take place in the Houses of Commons and Lords soon.

The SNP has vowed to table 50 amendments to any legislation, while the Liberal Democrats have said they will oppose the triggering of Article 50 unless there is a second referendum on the final deal.

Mr Corbyn said his party wanted the final deal to be put to a "meaningful vote" in Parliament instead of a plan which would see the proposed deal presented with no option for renegotiation.

He said: "The Government has today been forced by the Supreme Court to accept the sovereignty of Parliament.

"Labour respects the result of the referendum and the will of the British people and will not frustrate the process for invoking Article 50.

"However, Labour will seek to amend the Article 50 Bill to prevent the Conservatives using Brexit to turn Britain into a bargain-basement tax haven off the coast of Europe."

The SNP, the third largest party in the Commons, will put forward dozens of "serious and substantive" amendments to the legislation.

Former Scottish first minister Alex Salmond, the SNP's international affairs spokesman, said the Government "cannot simply bypass elected parliamentarians to fulfil their role in carrying out due and proper scrutiny of one of the biggest decisions facing the UK."

Lib Dem leader Tim Farron said: "This Tory Brexit Government are keen to laud the democratic process when it suits them, but will not give the people a voice over the final deal. They seem happy to start with democracy and end in a stitch-up.

"The Liberal Democrats are clear - we demand a vote of the people on the final deal and without that we will not vote for Article 50."

Gina Miller, the lead claimant in the Brexit challenge, welcomed the Supreme Court's ruling, saying "no prime minister, no government can expect to be unanswerable or unchallenged.

"Parliament alone is sovereign."

Outside the central London court, she said that MPs will now have the chance to help the Government select the "best course" in Brexit talks.

She also spoke of how this "divisive issue of a generation" had led to her and her legal team facing "extraordinary and unwarranted criticism".

Green Party co-leader Caroline Lucas confirmed she would vote against triggering Article 50 on the timetable set out by the Prime Minister."

Attorney General Jeremy Wright - who led the Government's legal fight - said ministers were "disappointed" by the ruling, but added: "The Government will comply with the judgment of the court and do all that is necessary to implement it."
