Boris Johnson received a flood of resignation letters on Wednesday as pressure continued to mount on the embattled UK Prime Minister. This came after two high-profile cabinet ministers, health secretary Sajid Javid and chancellor Rishi Sunak, resigned on Tuesday.
This week’s exodus was prompted by the latest in a long list of scandals that have plagued the Conservative government. It emerged this week that Johnson had promoted Chris Pincher to the position of deputy whip despite being aware of sexual misconduct allegations against him.
It seems that this was the final straw for many Tory officials who have expressed no confidence in Johnson’s leadership.
