World reacts as PM Boris Johnson's endgame unfolds

Here are our correspondents in the US, Singapore and Europe with the view from where they are.

Even in his darkest days as president - through two impeachments and countless "has he finally gone too far?" controversies - Trump would point to his loyal base and cite, sometimes without evidence, the enormous support he had in surveys of Republicans and the comfortable margin by which he won the electoral vote in 2016.

And set aside that only in Mr Trump's final weeks, after he had lost his re-election and a mob of his supporters attacked the US Capitol, did he see a mass exodus of advisors akin to what Mr Johnson is experiencing. Wholesale rejection of Mr Johnson's bill currently making its way through parliament, to unilaterally rewrite the international post-Brexit treaty on Northern Ireland, has managed to unite the normally bickering EU institutions: the Commission, Parliament and Council.

The main EU hope expressed today is the same I heard immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote: EU politicians wish for a UK leader, they say, who has the political confidence to talk and negotiate with Brussels, rather than constantly playing to, and being distracted by, the political gallery at home. They've used his resignation to comment on the seeming lack of accountability of politicians in their own countries to the people they govern.
