Boris Johnson has suffered further ministerial resignations as his loose grip on the keys for Number 10 continues to weaken after losing two of his most senior Cabinet colleagues.
Several more Tory MPs walked out of government on Wednesday, following the eight - including former chancellor Rishi Sunak and ex-health secretary Sajid Javid - who quit on Tuesday.
With Mr Johnson's day going from bad to worse, he faced an intense grilling before the Liaison Committee on Wednesday afternoon, during which he ruled out calling an election - unless people "forget" his mandate.
Over the course of a bruising interrogation, he did not deny saying "all the sex pests are supporting me" and “Pincher by name, Pincher by nature”, when asked about his handling of the Chris Pincher affair, who quit as deputy chief whip last week following claims that he groped two men.
With the prime minister haemorrhaging support across the Tory ranks, a delegation of Cabinet ministers are preparing to tell Mr Johnson to leave Downing Street.
