Prime Minister Boris Johnson is resigning as Tory leader, it has been announced - but what happens next?
Johnson is expected to remain as Prime Minister until a successor is in place and a number of names have been thrown into the ring as possible successors - including Rishi Sunak and Dominic Raab. A No 10 source said Mr Johnson spoke to Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the Conservative 1922 Committee, to inform him of his decision.
"The Prime Minister has spoken to Graham Brady and agreed to stand down in time for a new leader to be in place by the conference in October," a No 10 source said.
