Liberal Democract MP Chuka Umunna tells the BBC the prime minister should resign and MPs need to form an emergency government to replace this"dysfunctional" one.
He says it is"a good day for democracy" and"a damning indictment of the prime minister and the government" "It is quite unprecedented. This is not normal for a prime minister to be declared to having acted in an unlawful fashion. In those circumstances you would expect the prime minister to resign, that is what should happen now," he said.
"The leader of the Liberal Democrats Jo Swinson has put forward the Mother and the Father of the House Harriet Harman and Ken Clarke as people who could potentially lead that emergency government, but we can't carry on like this."
