Cabinet ministers send chief whip to Number 10 to tell Boris Johnson to quit

 

Cabinet ministers - including the new chancellor Nadhim Zahawi - have sent the chief whip to Number 10 to tell Boris Johnson to resign, Sky News understands.

The delegation of senior politicians, which also includes Transport Secretary Grant Shapps and Welsh Secretary Simon Hart, have told Chris Heaton-Harris than the PM's position is untenable and have sent him to deliver the news.  


Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng is understood to have echoed the message, as well as Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis.

Sky News' deputy political editor Sam Coates understand they will deliver the "final ultimatum" to Mr Johnson, saying "you go or we do".
