Boris Johnson’s relationship with the truth is once again dominating headlines.
After denying any knowledge of the sexual harrassment allegations against his disgraced former deputy chief whip, the Prime Minster announced that he had been personally briefed about Chris Pincher’s history, before promoting him.
It was the final straw for two heavyweight members of his cabinet - Chancellor of the Exchequor Rishi Sunak, and Health Secretary, Sajid Javid - who resigned within 10 minutes of each other. And a slew of resignations flooded in, in the hours that followed.
But Johnson shows no signs of quitting in the face of another political battering, so this video explains the other ways Boris Johnson could be booted as PM. Report by Braybrooks. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn

The leader of Merton Council Ross Garrod says more than 200 residents have been told to leave their homes as a precautionary measure due to a gas leak, as investigations continue into the cause of an explosion and a subsequent house collapse in south London. The incident, which occurred at around 7am on Monday morning in Thornton Heath, led to the death of one girl, believed to be aged four. Mr Garrod adds the council has "faced real challenges" with insurance companies refusing basic accommodation for homeowners.

Ben Wallace says Liz Truss' plan to cut taxes, which Dominic Raab has dubbed "political suicide", is the "quickest way" to get money into people's pockets and is "the right way" to tackle the cost-of-living crisis. The defence secretary claims neither Rishi Sunak nor the Labour party are "offering a solution" to the "significant rises" in gas and energy bills, which is expected to hit vulnerable households hardest this winter.
