Resignations from the government are flowing in each hour over the controversy.

More than 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'll hang on to the bitter end, B: there'll be more resignations today.

Where that puts us is in very dangerous territory because the work of government can't go on.

There are bill committees that are being cancelled today because there are no ministers to appear before them.

Where it gets really dangerous is that Liz Truess is heavily involved in the NATO accession talks and the transport secretary has an imminent rail strike
