Speaking to Talk TV after the resignations of Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid, a Conservative Party vice chair said he too would have to step down from his position.

Bim Afolami, the MP for Hitchin and Harpenden, said: “(After) recent allegations about the former deputy chief whip and other things that have happened over recent weeks, I just don’t think the Prime Minister any longer has, not just my support, but he doesn’t have, I don’t think, the support of the party, or indeed the country any more.

“I think for that reason he should step down.”
