Quite worrying potentially considering the harm and division he could still create.

Boris Johnson is to resign as Conservative leader today and make a statement to the country.

But he plans to continue to serve as prime minister until the autumn to allow a Tory leadership contest to take place in the summer.

Calls are growing for him to step down sooner, with some Tory MPs saying he must go now and it's impossible for him to stay on.

More than 50 government ministers and aides have quit.

Labour leader Keir Starmer welcomes Johnson's impending resignation, saying the Conservatives have "inflicted chaos upon the country" during a cost of living crisis.

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss - who has remained silent for days - is cutting short a foreign trip and returning to London.

Nadhim Zahawi this morning told Johnson he must "go now", two days after being made chancellor.

While New Education Secretary Michelle Donelan and Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis resigned from cabinet.

Pah, what he plans and what he can realise are two different things. He's done. This manouver will not save him. It will enrage even more people in his party.

He's done, he is just "aping" around. Last twitches before exitus.
