Boris Johnson odds to leave role as PM continues to tumble as Sue Gray report looms

The Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s odds to leave No.10 have shortened for the second day in a row as he is now 7/4 to go this year, having been 11/5 yesterday.

With Sue Gray’s report into ‘partygate’ expected to be published very soon, Johnson is also 7/2 to depart in 2023 and 6/5 to exit in 2024 or later.

The Foreign Secretary Liz Truss is the 13/2 favourite to replace Johnson as Tory leader with Jeremy Hunt following closely behind at 7/1.
