Boris Johnson is clinging to his job tonight after two of his most senior Cabinet members resigned. The scandal-hit Prime Minister was rocked by the shock departures of both Chancellor Rishi Sunak and health secretary Sajid Javid.
The duo chose to announce their resignations just minutes after Johnson had completed an interview in which he apologised over his handling of the Chris Pincher row after it emerged he had forgotten about being told of previous allegations of “inappropriate” conduct.
Pincher quit as deputy chief whip last week following claims that he groped two men at a private members’ club - but Johnson was told about allegations against him as far back as 2019.
