However, the US constitution explicitly states it is the supreme law and limits what congress and the states may pass unless they follow an amendment process.

The UK has no constitution for a Supreme Court to claim trumps parliament’s laws.

(That said, I understand that the Israeli high court has claimed the ability to overturn parliamentary laws despite Israel not having a constitution either, so perhaps there is a chance a UK court tries the same?)
