Boris Johnson staying until the next election would see the Tories get "mullered" at the next election.

That's according to the vice chairman of the Mid Kent and Faversham constituency association as North Thanet MP Sir Roger Gale said his lies over Chris pincher were a "hanging offence".

His leadership is in turmoil as Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid sensationally resigned.

The scandal-hit Prime Minister lost two of his top team within five minutes amid fresh controversy over how much he knew about groping allegations against former deputy chief whip Chris Pincher.

Meanwhile Sir Roger told 5Live lying about Mr Pincher was "a hanging offence".

He said: "These resignations are part of a domino effect and given that his chancellor has gone and his health secretary has also gone, it ought to send a very clear message to number 10 that he needs a loaded pistol and a bottle of Scotch.

"Mr Pincher was not exonerated. To characterise the allegations as unsubstantiated is wrong. In other words the Prime Minster was telling porky pies.

"He's sent out on Sunday morning one of his cabinet members Thérèse Coffey to appear on television to justify the unjustifiable. She is a decent hard working very good secretary of state for work and pensions."

He also criticised him for sending out a "young very talented and honest" minster Will Quince who found himself having to "defend the indefensible" again.

And Paul Cooper, vice chairman of the Mid Kent and Faversham constituency association, said: "To be honest, I can't see him surviving this. Ministers can't get on with what they are supposed to be doing because they are are constantly in this quagmire dealing with crises.

"The danger is that he could limp on until an election in 2024 and we would get mullered. I am not even sure that changing leader would help."

Health Secretary Sajid Javid and Chancellor Rishi Sunak said they could no longer continue at around 6pm.

Mr Javid said: "It has been an enormous privilege to serve in this role, but I regret that I can no longer continue in good conscience."

He added: "I served for you loyally and as your friend. We all serve the country first. When made to choose between those loyalties there can be only one answer."

Chancellor Rishi Sunak then resigned saying: "The public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously. I recognise this may be my last ministerial job, but I believe these standards are worth fighting for and that is why I am resigning."

But Liz Truss then said she was "100% behind" Mr Johnson, Nadine Dorries said she was staying and so did Jacob Rees-Mogg.

Mr Johnson at first said he knew nothing of previous claims against Mr Pincher.

The MP has now been suspended and resigned from his post after being accused of groping two men at the Carlton Club – a private members' club popular with Tory politicians – last week.

He's said to have been so drunk he couldn't remember his address and was bundled into a taxi at 1am, handing in his resignation the following day and saying he "drank too much".

In the wake of that incident it has transpired Mr Johnson was aware of past allegations of improper conduct levelled at Mr Pincher but appointed him anyway.

Downing Street at first denied he knew anything before saying he didn't know about any "specific incidents" but was aware of new reports and "unsubstantiated" claims.

But earlier a cabinet minister said the PM "forgot" he'd been told about an upheld complaint against Mr Pincher in 2019.

It's the latest scandal to rock the PM's tenure.

He seemed to have weathered the Partygate storm and previous issues around Owen Paterson and revamping his Downing Street flat.
