Boris Johnson is set to resign as Prime Minister.
Finally bowing to pressure after a deluge of ministerial resignations, Mr Johnson, who has been Prime Minister since July 2019, decided on Thursday that he was standing down, according to reports. He is expected to deliver a statement on Thursday morning.
Mr Johnson has spoken to Tory 1922 Committee chairman Sir Graham Brady and agreed to stand down, with a new Tory leader set to be in place by the party conference in October, a No 10 source said.
