The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is rushing to plug the gaps in his Cabinet, after his Finance and Health Ministers said they no longer held confidence in him or his ability to adhere to the standards expected by the public.
Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid quit within minutes of each other, just after Boris Johnson apologised for the appointment of MP Chris Pincher to a government role, despite being aware of allegations of sexual misconduct against him.
The pair's decision has also prompted a flurry of resignations from more junior positions in the Tory party. Kathryn is joined from Westminster by UK correspondent Harriet Line.
