Jack Doyle had been director of communications in No 10 until his resignation on Thursday

Two senior aides to Boris Johnson have resigned from Downing Street within hours of each other amid growing pressure on the prime minister.

Director of communications Jack Doyle confirmed his exit shortly after the departure of policy head Munira Mirza.

No 10 confirmed both departures and thanked them for their work.

Ms Mirza left over the PM's false claim that Sir Keir Starmer failed to prosecute Jimmy Savile when he was director of public prosecutions.
