A number of cabinet colleagues are urging Boris Johnson to step down, putting his position as
PM in jeopardy
Chris Heaton-Harris, the Chief Whip, and Grant Shapps, the Transport Secretary, are among
those assembling in No. 10 to demand his resignation.
Sir Graham Brady, the leader of the Tory backbenchers, will meet with the PM “to offer good
guidance,” says the BBC
According to information provided, Welsh Secretary Simon Hart is also part of the group
intending to ask Mr. Johnson to resign.
Michael Gove, the secretary for leveling up, advised him to go early, while Kwasi Kwarteng, the
secretary for business, told the chief whip that the prime minister should quit.
A second group has joined the ministers who had gathered in Downing Street to urge the PM to
resign, according to BBC Political Editor Chris Mason.
Elections to replace the committee will take place the following week. In the meanwhile, Tory
party bosses on the executive of the backbench 1922 committee have delayed a decision on
whether to amend the rules governing a vote of confidence.
Mr. Johnson survived such a vote last month, and he would be exempt from further challenges
for a year under the rules as they stand right now.
The stunning resignations of Health Secretary Sajid Javid and Chancellor Rishi Sunak on
Tuesday marked the beginning of the turmoil that has enveloped Mr. Johnson’s premiership.
Following a disagreement over Mr. Johnson’s choice to name Chris Pincher deputy chief whip
earlier this year, they both resigned within minutes of one another.

Tribalism in Westminster is measured in decibels, and during Boris Johnson’s toughest PMQs
since the general election, the Conservative benches sat in almost complete silence while the
opposition benches were noisy.
Even Mr. Johnson’s most devoted supporters quietly – and frequently frankly and colorfully –
realized the game was over by early afternoon as the letters of resignation and no confidence
began to pour in.
Are those drapes? A cabinet minister was questioned. “I do, indeed. Hours and days pass “The
reply came.
Then, one by one, cabinet members texted me to say they would be seeing the prime minister
this evening to make it clear that he had to leave.
Power defines Westminster as a postcode. And it’s changing tonight. The administration of Boris
Johnson appears to be coming to a close.
