London: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson arrived back at 10 Downing Street on Wednesday after an overnight flight from New York as politicians gathered at the House of Commons for its historic reopening.
Johnson cut short his visit to the U.S., where he was attending the UN General Assembly, following a ruling by Britain’s Supreme Court that his suspension of Parliament was unlawful, Xinhua reported.
Photographers captured images of Johnson waving to the media outside the famous Downing Street front door following his flight to London Heathrow Airport.
A few hundred metres away, John Bercow, Speaker of the House of Commons, addressed a crowded chamber of MPs, who had raced back to London following the ruling, which overturned a shutdown scheduled to last until mid-October.
Bercow, in his opening remarks to MPs, said: “Welcome back to our place of work”.
He said that following the court ruling he had instructed the House of Commons to re-assemble and ordered the official records to be changed to remove reference to a prorogation of Parliament following the court decision that it was wrong.
