If he doesn't resign, under laws introduced in 2015, any prison term, even a suspended sentence, leads to a recall petition. This is open for six weeks and can force a byelection if signed by 10% of voters in a constituency. The petition can only start once any appeals against the sentence have been dealt with.
I'm sure I've also read somewhere that if a prison sentence of 12 months or more is passed down - then it's bye bye MP.
