Boris Johnson will imminently announce his resignation after facing mass resignations from the ministerial ranks and a cabinet revolt.

Despite vowing to “fight on” just last night, the prime minister has spoken with the chairman of the Conservatives’ 1922 Committee and agreed to stand down.

It is expected he will attempt to remain in post until a new Tory leader is in place by the party’s annual conference in October, a No 10 source said.
