Angela Richardson MP has quit her role in Government after writing of her 'deep disappointment' over the Partygate saga.

"Last week, I stepped back from my governmental responsibilities to invest more of my time realising the campaigns that I am working on for the people of Guildford, Cranleigh and our villages.

Her announcement follows the publication of an "update" from Ms Gray. It was scathing in its criticism of the "failure" of leadership at No10 and the Cabinet Office. He arrived to a meeting with Conservative backbenchers to muted cheers after his Commons appearance. Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab turned up with him - both have been tipped to replace the beleaguered PM if he were to quit.

Former Tory minister Andrew Mitchell also told Mr Johnson he had supported him before but could no longer back him.
