Boris Johnson's leadership has been further strained by the resignation of four of his top advisers from Number 10 in the wake of the partygate controversy. Dan Rosenfield, the prime minister's chief of staff, and Martin Reynolds, Mr Johnson's principal private secretary, have both announced their departures from Number 10. Two more important advisors to the prime minister have resigned: press secretary Jack Doyle and policy director Munira Mirza.
