PM vows to carry out Brexit 'in full' following High Court ruling PM urges Parliament to 'remember' Brexit referendum result
(about 3 hours later)
Theresa May has vowed to carry out Brexit "in full" despite the High Court ruling on leaving the EU. Theresa May has urged MPs and peers to "remember" the result of the referendum on leaving the EU.
The prime minister said the government needed to "get on with the job" and MPs should "accept" the referendum result. The prime minister said the government was "getting on" with the task, after losing a ruling in the High Court over Parliament getting a say on triggering the formal Brexit process.
Writing in the Sunday Telegraph she said she was appealing against the High Court decision because there was "an important principle at stake". But UKIP leader Nigel Farage told the BBC a "ruling elite" was "not prepared to accept" the referendum result.
Jeremy Corbyn said Labour would block Article 50 if Mrs May does not guarantee access to the single market. He warned of protests on the streets, with temperatures "very, very high".
On Thursday, the High Court ruled Parliament should vote on when the government can trigger Article 50, beginning the formal process of the UK leaving the EU. The High Court ruled on Thursday that Parliament should vote on when the government can trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, beginning the formal process of leaving the EU.
Call for unity Ministers have vowed to fight to get this overturned next month in the Supreme Court.
In her first comments on the ruling, Mrs May said: "This may appear to be a debate about process, and the legal argument is complex, but in reality there is an important principle at stake. Jeremy Corbyn said Labour would block the triggering of Article 50 if Mrs May did not guarantee access to the single market.
"Parliament voted to put the decision about our membership of the EU in the hands of the British people. The people made their choice, and did so decisively. In a head-to-head with Mr Farage on BBC One's Andrew Marr Show, Gina Miller, the investment manager who brought the case against the government, said: "Everyone in this country should be my biggest fan, because we have used our own money to create certainty about the way ahead."
"It is the responsibility of the government to get on with the job and to carry out their instruction in full." She added: "Do we want a country where we have no process?"
The prime minister said MPs and peers who regret the referendum result "need to accept what the people decided" and called for unity on taking Brexit forward. But Mr Farage said the court's decision meant the country was faced with "half Brexit", adding that the "reach of the European Union into the upper echelons of this country makes it quite difficult for us to trust the judgement".
"Instead of re-fighting the battles of the past, we should be focusing on how we can come together as a country to make the most of this great national opportunity and forge a bold, confident, global future for Britain," she added. He warned: "If the people of this country think that they're going to be cheated, they're going to be betrayed, then we will see political anger, the likes of which none of us in our lifetimes have ever witnessed."
"That should be our ambition - one around which we can all unite." Asked if there was a danger of disturbances in the street, he replied: "Yes, I think that's right."
However, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said his party would block the prime minister from triggering the process of leaving the EU unless she agreed to the party's "Brexit bottom line", which includes access to the single market. Mr Farage said: "The temperature of this is very, very high. I'm going to say to everyone who was on the Brexit side, 'Let's try and get even. Let's have peaceful protests and let's make sure, in any form of election, we don't support people who want to overturn this process.'"
Speaking at Heathrow Airport as she left for a trade mission to India, Mrs May said: "I think we all have to remember, and what MPs and peers have to remember, is that we had a vote on 23 June.
"The British people, the majority of the British people, voted to leave the European Union. The government is now getting on with that."
She added: "I want to ensure that we get the best possible deal for the UK as we leave the EU, that's the best possible deal for trading with and operating within the single European market.
"But alongside that, the UK will be a confident, outward-looking nation, taking its place on the world stage, looking to build relationships around the globe."
However, Mr Corbyn said Labour would block the prime minister from triggering Article 50 unless she agreed to the party's "Brexit bottom line", which includes access to the European single market.
He told the Sunday Mirror: "The court has thrown a big spanner in the works by saying Parliament must be consulted. We accept the result of the referendum.He told the Sunday Mirror: "The court has thrown a big spanner in the works by saying Parliament must be consulted. We accept the result of the referendum.
"We are not challenging the referendum. We are not calling for a second referendum. We're calling for market access for British industry to Europe.""We are not challenging the referendum. We are not calling for a second referendum. We're calling for market access for British industry to Europe."
Mr Corbyn said the opposition would not allow Article 50 to go ahead unless Mrs May agreed four principles. Mr Corbyn said the opposition would not allow Article 50 to go ahead unless Mrs May agreed four principles:

The judges behind the High Court ruling against the government have faced a backlash from some newspapers which led the Bar Council to urge the government to curb the criticism.
"It would give us the chance to put before the British people an alternative economic strategy for this country." Lord Chancellor Liz Truss backed the independence of the UK's judiciary but stopped short of condemning the attacks.
Open for business
Mrs May reiterated her commitment to delivering Brexit despite the High Court ruling as she prepared to fly to India on her first trade mission as prime minister.
She said she wanted to send out a message that the UK was "open for business" and make the most of the opportunities "offered by Brexit as the world's foremost champion of free trade".
The prime minister said Britain could not sign new free trade deals until it had left the EU but it did not stop the government from "preparing the ground".
She said her trip to India would involve introducing UK businesses to the opportunities in the overseas market as well as discussing a future trade agreement.
The prime minister added: "This is the spirit in which I want us to go forward in forging this new role in the world: bold, forward-looking, open and ambitious.
"By forging that role on the world stage and ever stronger partnerships, we will be able to deliver our vision back at home: to make Britain a country that works for everyone, not just a privileged few."
The government will go to the Supreme Court next month in an attempt to overturn the High Court decision that Parliament should vote on triggering Article 50.
