Boris Johnson is expected to announce his resignation later today but will continue as Prime Minister until the autumn.
The Prime Minister will announce today he will resign as Prime Minister and leader of the Conservative Party. The besieged leader has faced a mass revolt from cabinet ministers and back bench Tory MPs in recent days.
Last night Mr Johnson made a defiant last grab at power but the feeling is he will have no choice but to step down today after losing the support of his government and party. Among those telling him to go today include Nadhim Zahawi, the new Chancellor of the Exchequer.
