New cabinet ministers announced after resignations

The resignations came minutes after the PM apologised for appointing MP Chris Pincher to a government role.

Mr Johnson admitted he had made a “bad mistake” in appointing Mr Pincher to the role of deputy chief whip earlier this year, despite being told about earlier allegations about the MP’s conduct.

His handling of the row has come in for fierce criticism from the opposition and some of his own MPs.
