Boris Johnson's premiership lurched into its final throes tonight as a delegation of Cabinet ministers went to Downing Street to tell him to resign.
'Men in grey suits' Welsh Secretary Simon Hart and grim-faced Transport Secretary Grant Shapps went to tell the Prime Minister he had lost the confidence of his party after 36 MPs quit government in 24 hours.
As the explosive gathering formed, Tory MPs discussed changing the rules of no confidence votes - to force the PM out as soon as next week if he squats in No10.
