Tory Peer: 鈥楶M's exit has got less and less dignified鈥�

Boris Johnson has resigned as the conservative party leader.

He will remain as the Prime Minister until the autumn to allow a Tory leadership contest to take place.

Tory Peer Lord Robert Hayward tells 5 Live鈥檚 Nicky Campbell what he thinks is next for the Conservative party.

鈥淚 think there will be serious concern that he will stay until a new pm is found鈥� he says.

鈥淭he likely solution is that that Dominic Raab will come in as deputy / pro temp prime minister.鈥�
