The High Court Brexit ruling fallout continues
Today's UK press in full cry about the UK High Court's Brexit ruling 5 Nov
BBC reporting a swathe of reaction this morning
The opposition Labour Party has urged the government to come out and defend the three judges behind the controversial High Court ruling on the process of leaving the EU.
The Daily Mail branded them "Enemies of the people", while the Daily Express said the ruling had marked "the day democracy died".
Labour called the silence of Justice Secretary Liz Truss "embarrassing" and said she had "let down" the judiciary.
On Thursday, the court ruled Parliament should vote on triggering Article 50.
The judges found that the government could not start the formal process of leaving the EU - the triggering of Article 50 - by using the royal prerogative alone, and would need the backing of Parliament. That would require publishing legislation to be debated by the Commons and the Lords.

Leaked memo says the UK government still has no overall Brexit plan
BBC and The Times both claim access to a leaked memo 15 Nov
The leaked Cabinet Office memo - written by an un-named consultant and entitled "Brexit Update" of 7 November - suggests it will take another six months before the government decides precisely what it wants to achieve from Brexit or agrees on its priorities.
A government spokesman said it "didn't recognise" the claims made in the memo.
According to The Times the memo says:
"Every department has developed a 'bottom-up' plan of what the impact of Brexit could be - and its plan to cope with the 'worst case'.
"Although necessary, this falls considerably short of having a 'government plan for Brexit' because it has no prioritisation and no link to the overall negotiation strategy."
Plenty of work to be done still but the government's main focus right now will be winning their Supreme Court appeal due to be heard from 5 Dec

Hammond says will get UK ready for Brexit challenge
Britain's first budget plan since the Brexit vote will seek to get the economy prepared for the challenges of leaving the European Union and help struggling families through tough times ahead, finance minister Philip Hammond said on Sunday.
But Hammond said that levels of public debt were "eye-wateringly" high and he would not announce a big increase in spending when he spells out the economic plans of Britain's new government on Wednesday.
"We've got to make sure that the prosperity that comes from seizing opportunities ahead is shared across the country and across the income distribution," he told BBC television.
He was echoing promises by Prime Minister Theresa May to work for "just managing" Britons, many of whom delivered the biggest political upset in generations in June by voting to leave the EU.
Earlier on Sunday, the Treasury said Hammond would announce 1.3 billion pounds ($1.60 billion) in new spending on roads as part of his plans to bolster the economy with two years of talks on leaving the EU due to begin early next year.
Hammond said an important part of the discussions would focus on transition arrangements for the period after Britain leaves the EU but will probably still be negotiating the terms of its new relationship with the bloc.
With Britain's economy facing a slowdown next year and in 2018 after the Brexit vote, Hammond has dropped the target of his predecessor George Osborne of turning Britain's budget deficit into a surplus by 2020.
