Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid have resigned from government saying they no longer have confidence in Boris Johnson to lead the country.
Mr Sunak said the public expected government to be conducted "properly, competently and seriously".
Mr Javid echoed this in his resignation letter, saying the government was not "acting in the national interest".
The resignations came minutes after PM sought to draw a line under a row about MP Chris Pincher, who is facing sexual misconduct allegations.
Mr Johnson admitted he had made a "bad mistake" in appointing Mr Pincher to the role of deputy chief whip earlier this year, despite being told about earlier allegations about the MP's conduct.
His handling of the row has come in for fierce criticism from the opposition and some of his own MPs.
