The Supreme Court has been adjourned for today. Tomorrow's session will start at 10:30, with evidence from Sir James Eadie, who is representing the UK government and will talk about the Miller case. Read more here 👉

Last week, a Scottish court found the suspension"unlawful". Ms Miller and MP Joanna Cherry QC are among those arguing that ruling should be upheld.

"But, insofar as they purport to declare that the prorogation is null and of no effect, I submit that they have simply gone where the court could not go." Lord Keen added:"I have given a very clear undertaking that the prime minister will respond by all necessary means to any declaration that the ... prorogation was effected by any unlawful advice that he may have given."

Lord Pannick kicked off the case on Tuesday, arguing the"exceptional" length of parliament's suspension was"strong evidence" the current prime minister wants to"silence" MPs because he sees them as"obstacle to the furtherance of his political aims".
