The PM's health deteriorates but he remains conscious and has asked Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab to deputise for him.

"The prime minister is receiving excellent care, and thanks all NHS staff for their hard work and dedication."It is understood the decision to move the prime minister to intensive care around 7pm on Monday.

This came shortly after Mr Raab had said, at the government's daily coronavirus briefing, that Mr Johnson was in"good spirits" after spending a"comfortable" night in hospital.Mr Johnson did not travel to the hospital by ambulance on Sunday night but travelled the short distance from Downing Street by"private transportation", the prime minister's official spokesman revealed earlier on Monday.

Newly-elected Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said the deterioration in Mr Johnson's health was"terribly sad news". "All the country's thoughts are with the prime minister and his family during this incredibly difficult time," he posted on Twitter on Sunday night. Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tweeted:"My thoughts are with the PM and his family - sending him every good wish."He added St Thomas' Hospital"has some of the finest medical staff in the world, and he couldn't be in safer hands".
