			NEW: One minister who saw @BorisJohnson after the resignations of @RishiSunak and @sajidjavid tells me: Boris does not look like a PM about to relinquish the seals of office. He is bullish - Nicholas Watt, Political Editor BBC Newsnight.
 Johnson will be one of those who won’t leave until he’s dragged kicking and screaming.
