Boris Johnson has lost the support of one of Dorset's Conservative MPs.
Chris Loder has said he has "personally lost confidence" in the Prime Minister and would "support" action from the 1922 Committee that would remove Boris Johnson from office.
The MP for West Dorset broke his silence this morning and said it was "with great sadness" that he thought Boris Johnson should resign.
His comments came in the wake of Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid's high-profile resignations last night. Several more ministers have resigned in the following hours.
Speaking on the Today programme, Chris Loder said he found it "unacceptable" that it took a civil servant "to correct the record after five days" following allegations of sexual misconduct surrounding the MP Chris Pincher.
Mr Loder added that he was "glad to see" Mr Sunak and Mr Javid had "acted accordingly" by resigning from Government.
