Boris Johnson is expected to make new ministerial appointments - despite his imminent resignation
The departing Prime Minister is due to give a statement around midday after finally admitting defeat in his battle to keep the warring Tory party behind him.
Brandon Lewis was the first to go today. He quit his Cabinet post as Northern Ireland Secretary, telling the Prime Minister the Government requires "honesty, integrity and mutual respect" and it is "now past the point of no return". His departure was soon followed by a string of other ministers as the number of MPs quitting government and party posts since Tuesday evening topped 50.
Then newly-appointed Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi called for the PM to go, telling him: "You must do the right thing and go now."
