Senior Tories are jockeying for position to succeed doomed Boris Johnson, as the Prime Minister is set to resign with a statement later today.
Following a flood of sleaze scandals including Partygate and the Chris Pincher furore, Mr Johnson’s time in No10 looks to finally be over.
Since Tuesday night, more than 50 Tory MPs have abandoned their leader and staff at Number 10 have now said his letter of resignation has been prepared.
