Boris Johnson suffered further humiliation on Thursday as his brother Jo resigned from Cabinet and announced he would not stand at the next election.
Jo Johnson was “torn between family loyalty and the national interest” in the latest blow for the Prime Minister.
It comes as Mr. Johnson prepares to address the nation with another attack on Jeremy Corbyn following Commons defeats which have severely weakened his grip on power.
The Prime Minister will now brand his chief political foe “cowardly” after failing to block a bill aimed at preventing a no-deal Brexit.
Mr. Johnson suffered two more embarrassing defeats in the Commons on Wednesday – the first forcing him to secure a Brexit extension and the second denying him an October 15 election.
Mr. Corbyn – who has said he would back an election once the Brexit delay bill becomes law – and other opposition leaders are now set to plot their next move.
