Johnson has faced growing anger over a series of reported parties in Downing Street during COVID-19 lockdowns and questions about often chaotic style of leadership.

"In the coming days, I don't have specific dates, I think certainly you'll see further changes," his spokesman said, referring to new appointments that had been made over the weekend. "There will be additional recruitment into Number 10."
