There are no end of stories about what the prime minister will do if the Supreme Court upholdsthat the manner in which he closed down Parliament was unlawful. He will certainly face enormous pressure to resign if he is found to have lied to the Queen.
All Mr Johnson has said about today is that we should wait for the outcome. His legal team’s submissions go further. The papers state that if the justices rule against Mr Johnson, “…the prime minister will take the necessary steps to comply with the terms of any declaration made by the court”. What that means in practice is speculation - because it depends on what the court explicitly says. The justices could tell the PM to “retake” the decision of how he advised the Queen. How and when MPs would then return to work, in that scenario, would obviously be rather unclear.

Don’t take all day, the answer obvious . No
