Boris Johnson has been moved to intensive care after his condition worsened, Downing Street has said.
The prime minister has asked Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab to deputise for him "where necessary".
A Number 10 spokesman said: "Over the course of this afternoon, the condition of the prime minister has worsened and, on the advice of his medical team, he has been moved to the intensive care unit at the hospital.

Praying for a speedy recovery.
there’s a magnificent passage in an Isiah Berlin essay, titled I think something about Churchill and history and he says exactly that: that Churchill played a part, quite literally. And it was crucial to the survival of civilization.
I just heard on FNC that in future videos Clueless Joe will be wearing a mask. Talk about giving off bad signals. Hide in basement, wear mask, mumble incoherently. A leader!
He got worse over the last 24 hours
Ironically, his prior attempts at statecraft on a large scale, whether as Home Office head, Lord High Admiral, or Chancellor of the Exchequer, were disastrous, despite the indisputable quality of his mind. Had WW II not occurred, he would have died in obscurity like his father ended up doing after a meteoric rise. But WW II was to Churchill what Tevye was to Chaim Topol, only in real life.
people do get worse on hydroxychloroquine. It’s not magic
I’m not a doctor but sometimes I identify as one. 5% survival sure seems small.
I am being serious - a mask for Joe could solve one of his biggest problems - his incoherence.
If Biden wears a mask, they can use technical/Hollywood tricks to make sure he “says” logical, concise, wise things. Especially at the virtual “convention.”
Oh dear Lord... I pray that is not true. But - then again - the 'rumors' about 24 hours ago had Boris in the ICU (when we thought he was just 'in the hospital').
More prayers for PM Boris Johnson...
Trump sent the best of the best to London, Boris May be in bad shape now but he won’t be for long give it 24 hour Boris will be begging for food starving to death!
Hope so! :-)
Send him prayers. He will need them.
It could be too late for HCQ. Once the temperature spikes to 104 and lungs fill with mucus, the HCQ may not pull him out. Boris should have been on it a week ago, he was diagnosed 10 days ago.
Someone was more than passingly stupid.
With HCQ therapy timing is everything.
The point is rather academic, since all 8000 private hospital beds, with staff, have been integrated with the NHS for the duration of the crisis. Most will be used for the less severe cases, since there are few intensive care facilities in British private healthcare, which is mainly geared up for routine procedures. In any case, most senior hospital doctors in the UK work for both the NHS and the private sector.
Has anyone informed Joe that a mask does *not* filter out gaffs?
Not as of last night. Just oxygen per the BBC
If Biden wears a mask, they can use technical/Hollywood tricks to make sure he “says” logical, concise, wise things. Especially at the virtual “convention.”
A fellow democrat in Congress, low IQ Sheila Lee has volunteered to show Joe how to wear a mask:!
Congressional Idiot, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), shows Joe, how to wear a surgical mask!
Dr. Sheila says, “Joe, when you put your nose outside the mask, it makes sneezing much easier to share your germs and virus with the Deplorables.!”
Well, the UK Parliament has managed to keep going for nearly 400 years since the last dictator. And do you know how many votes of no confidence in HM Government have been passed in the last 100 years? The answer is three, two of which were passed in 1924, the last in 1979.
