Boris Johnson's brother resigns as MP

The British Prime Minister’s brother Jo Johnson has announced he is quitting politics.

In a tweet this morning, Mr Johnson said: “In recent weeks I’ve been torn between family loyalty and the national interest – it’s an unresolvable tension and time for others to take on my roles as MP and Minister.”

He said that it had been an honour to serve for nine years and to serve as a minister under three Prime Ministers.
