  • there are mounting concerns in Downing Street of further resignations
  • A group of five ministers - Nicky Morgan, Julian Smith, Robert Buckland, Matt Hancock and Geoffrey Cox - are on a "resignation watch list"
  • It came after a "fractious" cabinet meeting in which ministers warned Mr Johnson about the "grave" risk of the return of direct rule in Northern Ireland
