50 members of the UK government have now resigned in the space of two days, piling further pressure on Boris Johnson.

Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis is among the latest to go this morning, saying government isn't upholding values of 'honesty, integrity and respect'

Despite the volume of resignations, the British Prime Minister's continuing to defy calls to step down.

Former UK government special advisor, Lauren McEvatt, says it simply can't continue.

"A: it seems like he will stay until the bitter end and B: it seems like there will be more resignations today.

"Where this puts us is in some really very dangerous territory as the work of Government cannot continue.

"There are bill committees being cancelled today as there are no Ministers to appear before them.

"Where it gets really dangerous is Liz Truss is involved in the NATO succession talks, and the Transport Secretary has an imminent rail strike."
