UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he would “keep going” when asked about the possibility of his resignation during Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons on July 6.

Asked by MP Tim Loughton whether the PM thought there were any circumstances in which he should resign, Johnson replied: “Frankly Mr Speaker, the job of a prime minister in difficult circumstances, when he’s been handed a colossal mandate, is to keep going, and that’s what I’m going to do.”

On Tuesday evening, Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid were among several high-level resignations forcing late-night appointments to Johnson’s cabinet. Credit: parliamentlive.tv via Storyful
