Britain's embattled Prime Minister Boris Johnson was clinging to power on Wednesday, with support seeping away, badly wounded by the resignation of a stream of senior colleagues who said he was not fit to govern. But Johnson, speaking at his weekly political questions, insisted he "had a plan" and said the government would "continue to deliver".
Johnson's finance and health secretaries quit on Tuesday following the latest scandal to hit the government, triggering the departure of around 15 lower-ranking politicians and the withdrawal of support of once loyal lawmakers.
