LONDON (Reuters) - The British government will not try to suspend parliament again in a way that contravenes Tuesday’s ruling of the Supreme Court, Attorney General Geoffrey Cox said, speaking after the court declared an earlier suspension unlawful.

Asked whether the government intended to try again to suspend - or prorogue - parliament for a lengthy period ahead of Brexit, Cox said: “There will be no prorogation that does not comply with the terms of the judgment of the Supreme Court.”

LONDON (Reuters) - Oil prices fell for a second day on Wednesday on worries that fuel demand could fall after U.S. President Donald Trump doused recent optimism over China-U.S. trade talks at a time of rising U.S. crude oil stockpiles.

Brent crude futures LCOc1 were down $1.05 cents at $62.05 a barrel by 1127 GMT, erasing all gains made after an attack on Saudi oil facilities sent the benchmark up around 20% last week.

Nevertheless, the benchmark remains on track for its first monthly gain since June.

LONDON (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia has restored its oil production capacity to 11.3 million barrels per day, three sources briefed on Saudi Aramco’s operations told Reuters, maintaining a faster than expected recovery after the Sept. 14 attacks on its oil facilities.

Crude output from the Khurais field is now at 1.3 million bpd and the Abqaiq plant is currently at about 4.9 million bpd, the sources said. On Monday, sources had said Abqaiq production was about 3 million bpd.

BRIGHTON, England (Reuters) - British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn called on Boris Johnson on Tuesday to resign and demanded a new election after the Supreme Court ruled that the prime minister’s move to suspend parliament was unlawful.

Corbyn was one of several opposition lawmakers to increase the pressure on Johnson, whose hardline strategy to take Britain out of the European Union, with or without a deal, on Oct. 31 appeared to be unraveling after the court ruling.

LONDON (Reuters) - The United Kingdom’s Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s decision to shut down parliament in the run-up to Brexit was unlawful, a humiliating rebuke that thrusts Britain’s exit from the European Union into deeper turmoil.

The unanimous and stinging judgment by the court’s 11 judges undermines Johnson’s already fragile grip on power and gives legislators more scope to oppose his promise to take Britain out of the EU on Oct. 31.

LONDON, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) -- Britain's main opposition leader, Labour's Jeremy Corbyn, beat off a potential grassroots revolt Monday at the party's annual conference in Brighton.

A bid by delegates to force Labour to back Britain remaining in the European Union (EU) ahead of a likely snap general election failed in a controversial vote in the conference hall.

Conference delegates agreed a Corbyn-backed proposition that will see Labour postponing a decision on Brexit until after a general election.

LONDON (AP) — Families stranded, honeymoons and vacations canceled, thousands of workers laid off: The sudden collapse of British tour company Thomas Cook and its network of airlines and hotels sowed chaos for hundreds of thousands of travelers and businesses around the world Monday.

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain’s top court will rule on Tuesday whether Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s decision to suspend parliament was unlawful, a judgment that could lead to the recall of the legislature and give lawmakers more chance to obstruct his Brexit plans.

Johnson advised Queen Elizabeth to prorogue, or suspend, parliament on Aug. 28, a move his opponents said was made to stymie challenges to his promise to take Britain out of the European Union on Oct. 31 with or without a divorce deal.

LONDON (Reuters) - Oil fell below $64 a barrel on Monday, reversing an earlier gain, pressured by the prospect of a faster-than-expected full restart of Saudi Arabian oil output and by fresh signs of European economic weakness.

A source, briefed on the latest developments in the Sept. 14 attack on Saudi oil facilities, said Saudi Arabia has restored around 75% of crude output lost.

Oil was up earlier in the session, supported by scepticism over how fast output would come back.

LONDON, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) -- The National Executive Committee (NEC) of Britain's main opposition Labor Party voted Sunday in favor of a statement outlining how the party would delay a decision on whether to back Britain staying in the European Union until after a general election.

As part of a plan, put forward by party leader Jeremy Corbyn, a Labor government would strike a new Brexit deal with the EU and then put it to a public vote. There would be an option on the ballot paper to remain.
