Courts said Boris Johnson’s decision on Thursday (7 July) to resign was "the right decision", and praised the prime minister for his record in Number 10.
More than 50 ministers have now resigned after chancellor Rishi Sunak and health secretary Sajid Javid fired the starting gun on Tuesday evening (5 July).
Like Courts, transport secretary Grant Shapps has remained in his post, although he is understood to have been among members of the cabinet who met with Johnson on Wednesday and urged him to resign.
