A host of resignations in the wake of the Chris Pincher story have sent shockwaves throughout Downing Street, with Prime Minister Boris Johnson experiencing yet more pressure.

With the microscope firmly over Johnson after yet another tumultuous few days, we want to know your thoughts on whether it's time for the PM to resign.

The latest scandal has seen news emerge that the PM was aware of the allegations of groping against former deputy chief whip Pincher before his re-appointment to the whip office in February 2022.
Pincher resigned from the position at the end of June, before a Number 10 spokesperson claimed that the PM had not been aware of the allegations at the time of promoting him.
But as more allegations against Pincher followed over the next few days, Number 10 subsequently acknowledged that the PM had in fact been aware of the allegations at the time of Pincher's promotion.
With resignations now sweeping throughout the government, we want to know if you think Johnson should be next.
