Newscast - Boris Johnson resigns

The Prime Minister Boris Johnson quits as Conservative leader. He’s said a “herd instinct” at Westminster rejected his bid to stay on. But a growing number of Tory MPs say he has to leave No 10 now rather than wait.

Laura and Chris join Adam to discuss what it all means.

This edition of Newscast was made by Alison Gee and Sam Bonham. The technical producer is Emma Crowe. The editor is Jonathan Aspinwall.
