Today (July 6), under-pressure Prime Minister Boris Johnson will have to face a Commons grilling, further resignations and more moves from his own backbenchers to unseat him, as he seeks to shore up his premiership. It has been another challenging few days for the PM following allegations surrounding the Conservative Party's former deputy chief whip Chris Pincher, who has been accused of groping two men at a private members' club and has since resigned.
Johnson's leadership has come under fire in recent months, but this is the latest saga to beset his time at Number 10. Having initially denied being aware of claims made against Pincher, the PM came out yesterday to admit he had made a mistake in appointing the Tamworth MP to a senior role, with it emerging that he had been informed of the previous allegations.
Following this, a number of Conservative MPs quit their Government roles, with the most high profile being Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid. More resignations have already happened today, including Robin Walker stepping down as Schools Minister.
