Two of Prime Minister's closest allies resign - calls grow for Boris Johnson to go

The UK prime minister could be forced to resign after two cabinet members stepped down.


Health Secretary Sajid Javid sent a letter to Boris Johnson saying he can no longer serve the prime minister in "good conscience". 


Moments later, Chancellor Rishi Sunak also resigned. He said his and the prime minister's approaches are "fundamentally too different."


This comes after it was revealed Boris Johnson knew about complaints made over disgraced MP Chris Pincher's behaviour.


Despite promising to not have been aware before appointing him as the Deputy Chief Whip.


Political journalist Gina Davidson says this may be the final straw for the prime minister.
