Former Prime Minister Theresa May was branded “better qualified than any other member of the current Cabinet” to become the interim leader when Boris Johnson officially resigns on the ITV talk show. Johnson has been clinging to power but an influx of resignations have left him on the brink of collapse and he is expected to resign later today outside Downing Street. This Morning presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield asked their guests who should fill his shoes as the caretaker Prime Minister.

Former MP Gyles Brandreth began: “There will be people thinking there should be an interim Prime Minister and you mention Mrs May but the other is the Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab who is deputy.”

Holly interjected: “But saying that, Theresa May is better qualified than any other member of the current Cabinet to fill that role in the interim.”

Simon McCoy added: “She is everything that Boris isn’t, she’s rather dull but steady and trustworthy.”
