Theresa May has insisted the government is “getting on” with Brexit, following a High Court ruling that Parliament must vote on when the formal process of leaving the EU can get under way.

The prime minister urged MPs and peers to “remember” the referendum result. She has promised to invoke Article 50 by the end of next March.

UKIP leader Nigel Farage warned of protests on the streets if the decision in favour of Brexit was ignored.
But the campaigner who brought the High Court case said it would stop ministers acting like a “tin-pot dictatorship”.
Judges ruled on Thursday that Parliament should vote on when the government can trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, starting formal negotiations with the EU.
