Four senior aides in Downing Street have resigned on Thursday, followed by a junior aide on Friday.

Munira Mirza, the head of policy at Number 10, was the first to quit on Thursday over Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s failure to apologise about his ‘scurrilous’ remarks toward the opposition leader, Labour’s Sir Keir Starmer.
