Johnson also managed to raise laughs, saying at one point both countries spoke the same language, adding "more or less".

Media in London reported that Johnson was asked at a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump whether he should resign for misleading the British monarch. The U.S. president intervened and said: "I'll tell you, I know him well, he's not going anywhere."

Johnson told reporters: "Let's be absolutely clear. We respect the judiciary in our country, we respect the court. I disagree profoundly with what they had to say. I think it was entirely right to go ahead with a plan for a Queen's speech. Frankly we need to get on with Brexit."

Also in New York, Johnson met the Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar. Downing Street later issued a statement about the talks, saying Johnson and Varadkar discussed Brexit and the ideas that Britain has been putting forward.

"The prime minister was clear that the UK would be leaving on 31 October and said that he was cautiously optimistic that we would be able to do so through negotiating a deal which is acceptable to both sides," added Downing Street.

On England's south coast resort of Brighton, main opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn brought forward his keynote speech from Wednesday to Tuesday to enable him to return to London for the re-opening of parliament.

Political commentators said Labour's annual conference had got off to a bad start with squabbles over the party's Brexit strategy.
