Boris Johnson resigns: How the day unfolded as PM announced his departure
Boris Johnson has announced he will stand down as Prime Minister.
Mr Johnson was still planning to cling on after Sajid Javid and Rishi Sunak quit as Health Secretary and Chancellor respectively on Tuesday evening.
However, his position as PM was put in even greater peril on Thursday morning when Brandon Lewis resigned as Northern Ireland Secretary, before Nadhim Zahawi - himself only appointed as Chancellor on Tuesday evening - publicly called on Mr Johnson to go.
This was followed by the new Education Secretary, Michelle Donelan quit less than 36 hours after being appointed to the role.
Mr Johnson has said he will serve as Prime Minister until a new Conservative leader is in place, alongside a newly appointed cabinet.
