BORIS Johnson faces the fight for his political life today as he battles fresh resignations and a brutal Commons showdown.
In the worst possible start, Will Quince quit as an education minister early this morning along with top transport aide Laura Trott.
More resignations are expected to flood in today as the PM’s enemies seize their chance to push him out of Downing Street.
Mr Johnson is desperately clinging on after Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid spectacularly wielded the knife yesterday with devastating resignations.
He faces a gruelling double-whammy pasting today as he gears up for PMQs followed by a grilling by the Liaison Committee.
Mutinous Tory MPs could rub salt into the PM’s wounds at what will be a brutal Commons showdown at noon.
And at 3.30pm he will endure further probing by senior MPs eager to haul the embattled PM over the coals.
He had the worst possible start as rising start Tory MP Ms Trott quit as an aide to the Transport Secretary.
She said that “trust in politics is – and must always be – of the upmost importance, but sadly in recent months this has been lost”.
Mr Quince quit as children’s minister after being sent out earlier in the week to defend the PM over the Chris Pincher scandal.
The line the Tory MP was given by No10 later turned out to be incorrect.
In a stinging resignation letter he said: “Thank you for meeting with me yesterday evening and for your sincere apology regarding the briefings I received from No 10 ahead of Monday’s media round, which we now know to be inaccurate.
“It is with great sadness and regret that I feel that I have no choice but to tender my resignation as minister for children and families as I accepted and repeated those assurances in good faith.”
