Boris Johnson spoke to the Queen after today’s court ruling, a government official has said, declining to give any no more details.

Johnson is due to arrive in London at around lunchtime tomorrow, following an overnight flight. However, a government official with the prime minister in New has said it was impossible to say whether the prime minister would appear before the Commons.

I would anticipate there would be statements to the house, I’m just not in a position to say what they will be on.

Amid a continued backlash over the verdict, the official said Johnson still had full confidence in the attorney general, Geoffrey Cox, and the senior No 10 aide, Dominic Cummings.

Asked if Johnson would use words like that, the official in New York said: “I haven’t. And nor has the prime minister.”

After a conference call of the full cabinet, chaired by Johnson in New York ahead of his speech to the UN general assembly later in the evening, Downing Street gave no indications over what the prime minister would do next.

They said the leader of the Commons, Jacob Rees-Mogg, would set out the planned government business first thing tomorrow.

Another official said that, while it was confirmed the Conservative party conference would take place next week as planned, it had not been decided whether it was necessary to pass a motion seeking a recess for the period, as is traditional.
