Lanarkshire Live survey: Is it time for the Prime Minister to quit?

Boris Johnson has long been a divisive figure in British politics and it's a trait he has not shaken since being at the helm of the country.

Following months of scandal - from the lobbying scandal with Owen Paterson, to 'partygate,' and suggestions that the Prime Minister once gave his girlfriend (now wife) Carrie Symonds a £100,000 salaried role in government - many have been left amazed that Mr Johnson is still leading our country.

And there are plenty who wish he weren't.

However, could it be that the shoogly peg can no longer take the strain of his weighty jacket?

Well, with a number of ministers resigning in protest to the latest scandal - the Prime Minister's denial of prior knowledge to sexual harrassment allegations against Chris Pincher MP who was given the assistant party whip role - it now looks like the tide of support is against BoJo.

Like rats fleeing a sinking ship, Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid resigned within minutes of each other on Tuesday night, before six further departures were announced ahead of PMQs on Wednesday.

Education ministers Will Quince and Robin Walker, Justice Minister Victoria Atkins, Treasury minister John Glen, and ministerial aides Laura Trott and Felicity Buchan have all walked out.

So, with that in mind, we simply ask - has the time come for Boris Johnson to resign?
