Former prime minister Sir John Major has slammed Boris Johnson's Parliament suspension, saying he believed the move was motivated by his "political interest".
Sir John is an intervener in an unprecedented case at the Supreme Court over the Prime Minister's advice to the Queen to suspend Parliament for five weeks.
His QC Lord Garnier said the former prime minister is of the view the "inference was inescapable" that Mr Johnson's decision was "motivated by his political interest in ensuring that there was no activity in Parliament during the period leading up to the EU Council summit on October 17 and 18".
On the third and final day of the historic hearing, a panel of 11 justices will also hear submissions on behalf of the Welsh and Scottish governments and Northern Irish victims' campaigner Raymond McCord.
