Boris Johnson's official spokesman has insisted that the UK Prime Minister still has control of Downing Street after a string of close aides quit their jobs.
Mr. Johnson quoted The Lion King as he attempted to rally remaining staff, telling them change is good.
His spokesman said No 10 was not currently expecting more resignations in the coming hours.
But another MP has submitted a letter of no confidence in the Prime Minister who is battling to save his job.
Backbench unrest is growing within the Conservative Party, with the BBC aware of 17 Tory MPs who have submitted no confidence letters in the prime minister - 54 are needed to trigger a leadership contest.
Many have cited the Prime Minister's participation in parties with staff in Number 10 during lockdowns as their motivation to challenge Mr. Johnson.
