Boris Johnson's brother, Jo, hit headlines today after resigning as an MP and minister.

The brothers hold different political views, but how do the other Johnsons compare?

Stanley Johnson: Despite serving as Conservative MEP and voting Remain in the EU referendum, Boris Johnson's dad switched to support Leave in 2017.

In the same year, the passionate environmentalist went into the jungle for reality TV show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.

Rachel Johnson: Boris Johnson's younger sister, 54, is also a Remainer. She used to be a Conservative Party member but quit before the 2017 election because of the party's support for Brexit.

She's a journalist and editor - and earlier this year tried to enter politics unsuccessfully when she stood as a Change UK candidate in the European Parliament elections.

After Jo resigned, she tweeted: , external"The family avoids the topic of Brexit especially at meals as we don't want to gang up on the PM!"

Jo Johnson: The youngest of Boris Johnson's siblings, Jo served as an MP for nine years until today, when he announced he was quitting.

The 48-year-old supports Remain. He served as a minister under Theresa May but quit in November 2018 over her Brexit deal - returning to his former job when his brother became PM.

Leo Johnson: Boris Johnson's other younger brother is Leo. He backs another referendum on Brexit and retweets pro-Remain accounts - but instead of politics, his career is in the City of London, where he works at accounting giant PwC.

He was a co-presenter of the Radio 4 series Future Proofing, which explores how new technology can affect society.

Boris Johnson welcomed Donald Trump's right-hand man, US Vice President Mike Pence, to No 10 for talks on Thursday.

After their talks, Mr Pence tweeted that he's looking forward to binding the ties between the US and UK "even stronger".

Conservative MP Dame Caroline Spelman says she is standing down at the next election after suffering months of abuse and death threats over Brexit.

"Twenty-two years is a long time in politics but I have never experienced anything like the last few years," she says. "And actually for me the last six months have been extremely difficult."

"Myself, my family and my staff, have borne an enormous brunt of abuse and I think quite frankly we've had enough."

The MP for Meriden in the West Midlands says she had to wear a "panic button" around her neck.

"You know, it comes to something when you feel afraid to move around the place where you live," she says.

Judges at the Court of Session in Edinburgh have ordered the release of government emails relating to Boris Johnson’s decision to suspend parliament.

The emails - sent from Downing Street staff to the prime minister - were detailed in court earlier this week as part of an attempt by a cross-party group of politicians to prove the Prime Minister’s decision was unlawful.

That petition was thrown out when a judge decided the matter was one of high politics and couldn’t be measured by legal standards.

But this afternoon, as part of an appeal in front of three judges, the documents were released in redacted form.

Crossbench peer Lord O'Donnell gives his advice to Boris Johnson about special advisers, perhaps in reference to Boris Johnson's controversial adviser Dominic Cummings.

"Good special advisers are extremely good for the smooth working of the civil service and their relationship with ministers," he says.

"Bad special advisers are toxic and in the end bring their ministers down. I think that's a lesson the prime minister might want to consider."

The motion to allow the PM to make another bid to hold an early general election on Monday is using the same act as he used on Wednesday.

The Fixed Term Parliaments Act (FTPA) needs two thirds of all MPs to vote in favour for an election to be allowed.

Meanwhile, Boris Johnson has met the US Vice President Mike Pence at Downing Street.

And, unsurprisingly, the post-Brexit relationship came up.

A statement from No 10 said the pair "discussed their two countries’ close working relationship and the vice president’s visit to Ireland this week, with the prime minister reaffirming the UK’s commitment to the Good Friday Agreement".

It added: “Both reiterated their commitment to negotiating an ambitious free trade deal after the UK leaves the EU."

The SNP would again "beat the Tories" in Scotland in a general election, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said.

Speaking at First Minister's Questions on Thursday, Ms Sturgeon said she'd "really relish" the prospect of a general election.

And she added that neither former Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson nor Boris Johnson's brother, Jo Johnson, could "stomach the direction that Boris Johnson is taking this country in".

Scottish Conservative interim leader Jackson Carlaw said voting SNP would be a vote for "more division".
