A Bristol Tory MP has called out members of Boris Johnson's Cabinet who are yet to resign, saying they are "doing real damage to their own reputations" by not doing so. Chris Skidmore, the Conservative MP for Kingswood, tweeted the message this morning (July 7) while sharing the resignation letter of Brandon Lewis, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland who announced he was stepping down today.
In his post, Mr Lewis said: "A decent and responsible Government relies on honesty, integrity and mutual respect - it is a matter of profound personal regret that I must leave Government as I no longer believe those values are being upheld. I have submitted my letter of resignation to the Prime Minister."
To which Mr Skidmore agreed, tweeting: "Brandon is right. And those members of the cabinet who continue to stay in post are now doing real damage to their own reputations by staying on."
