Chancellor Rishi Sunak and health secretary Sajid Javid have resigned from Boris Johnson’s government.
The chancellor, who quit moments after Mr Javid, said: “The public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously. I recognise this may be my last ministerial job, but I believe these standards are worth fighting for and that is why I am resigning.”
In his letter to the PM, Mr Javid said: “It is with enormous regret that I must tell you that I can no longer, in good conscience, continue serving in this government. I am instinctively a team player but the British people also rightly expect integrity from their government.
The tone you set as a leader, and the values you represent, reflect on your colleagues, your party and ultimately the country.
“Conservatives at their best are seen as hard-headed decision-makers, guided by strong values. We may not have always been popular, but we have been competent in acting in the national interest.
“Sadly, in the current circumstances, the public are concluding that we are now neither.
“The vote of confidence last month showed that a large number of our colleagues agree. It was a moment for humility, grip and new direction. I regret to say, however, that it is clear to me that this situation will not change under your leadership – and you have therefore lost my confidence too.”
Closely followed by Sunak:
The pair’s resignations came minutes after Mr Johnson gave an interview admitting he should not have appointed MP Chris Pincher as deputy chief whip in February after claims the MP groped two men last week.
But to cap it all is the arch Brexiteer and second in charge sociopath Dominic Raab with this excruciating interview in which he does not understand the term ‘guilty’.
Susanna Reid: How does someone who is found guilty by an internal investigation.. get to be deputy chief whip?

Dominic Raab: You say found guilty
SR: An investigation upheld the complaint
DR: Using the word guilty is wrong
SR: So what does an upheld investigation mean? #GMB pic.twitter.com/PkNdPA4AOu
Sunak and Javid on the backbenches and Raab in the Cabinet. Things just get worse and worse for BLOJO.
