Second Welsh MP quits government job amid further wave of resignations

A second Welsh MP has quit the government, telling the Prime Minister that it is impossible to rebuild trust in his leadership. MP for Montgomeryshire Craig Williams said he is resigning as parliamentary private secretary to the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Mr Williams' resignation follows Virginia Crosbie's resignation on Tuesday and comes as the Prime Minister faces a wave of resignations. See live updates on that here.

A third Welsh MP has also told the Prime Minister to step down. Brecon and Radnorshire's Fay Jones said that the Prime Minister needed to resign because the situation had become "intolerable". She added that she will resign as parliamentary private secretary to Mark Spencer, the leader of the House of Commons, if Boris Johnson is still Prime Minister on Thursday.
