Boris Johnson has agreed to stand down as Tory Party leader following a wave of ministerial resignations.
Mr Johnson is expected to make a statement later on Thursday confirming that he will be resigning from the position. It means the Consvervative Party will need to elect a new leader and Prime Minister.
However the process is expected to take some time with Mr Johnson set to remain as caretaker Prime Minister. It is reported that a successor will be in place by the time of the Conservative Party Conference in the autumn.
