One of Boris Johnson’s closest allies tells me: It will all be over by this time tomorrow. No PM can survive the resignation of two senior cabinet ministers like that
Downing Street’s line over the past two days being PM didn’t know about Chris Pincher’s “inappropriate” behaviour before appointing him to government — now PM’s former permanent under sec says he was briefed in person about Pincher

The Prime Minister has changed his mind off the back of the reaction to our report and he WILL now ban conversion therapy after all.
Senior Govt source absolutely assures me it’ll be in Queen’s Speech.
