Sajid Javid has delivered a statement to the House of Commons after resigning as health secretary, stating why he is no longer happy with Boris Johnson's leadership.
He declared that he will no longer "risk losing my integrity" as a cabinet member of the government. Mr Javid was among the first of a wave of resignations from the government on Tuesday evening, which he announced in a letter to Mr Johnson stating he could "no longer, in good conscience, continue serving this government."
The former health secretary said while making a personal statement that he is “instinctively a team player” but told the Commons: “Treading the tightrope between loyalty and integrity has become impossible in recent months.
