Reports coming out of Downing Street are suggesting the PM will resign today after more than 50 members of his government have stepped down citing concerns for the party’s image.

If he resigns a new Conservative leader will be chosen, which could take until the autumn.

Mr Johnson is not expected to step aside for Deputy PM, Dominic Raab, whilst the new leader is chosen.
