Boris Johnson will call in the military to stem the number of migrant boats crossing the Channel as part of a plan to save his position, according to The Times.

The Times reports Boris Johnson has been warned by cabinet ministers that he is in the “last chance saloon” after Downing Street was forced to apologise to the Queen over new allegations of lockdown parties. 

The Times leads with the news the Duke of York has lost his honorary military roles and royal patronages after a face-to-face meeting with the Queen on Thursday.
