Boris Johnson has vowed to "keep going" as Prime Minister after his leadership was dealt a major blow by defeats in two by-elections. The Liberal Democrats overturned a Conservative majority of 24-thousand in Tiverton and Honiton in Devon. Labour regained the West Yorkshire seat of Wakefield. The Tory Party co-Chairman, Oliver Dowden, has resigned, saying the government can't carry on with business as usual. So what does this mean for the Conservative Party and for Boris Johnnson? For 5 Minutes On - the BBC's Ben Brown and Political Correspondents, Ione Wells, Nick Eardley in Tiverton and Iain Watson in Wakefield can bring you up to speed on a day of reckoning for the Tories.
