What is described here as “constitutionally intolerable” is the idea that the Queen could refuse Royal Assent to an Act passed by Parliament against the wishes of the government.
But for the PM to advise the Queen to do so would be to breach one of the basic political rules of our constitution: don’t force the Queen to take a controversial decision.
See here for a concise explanation (there are further posts on the site on this topic by @ProfMarkElliott). publiclawforeveryone.com/2019/04/03/roy…
It is also likely that any attempt to advise the Queen in that way would be challenged in the courts.
