A Welsh Conservative MP has quit her job with a scathing message that Boris Johnson "cannot be trusted to tell the truth". The Tory MP for Ynys Môn said the Prime Minister's position was "untenable" following the number of allegations of "impropriety and illegality.
She was the eighth Conservative MP to hand in her resignation on Tuesday, July 5, following two Cabinet resignations from Rishi Sunak as Chancellor and Sajid Javid as Health Secretary. The series of exits follow the Prime Minister's apology for appointing former deputy Chief Whip Chris Pincher to a top job despite being aware of a previous complaint against him.
In her letter, posted to her Facebook, the MP wrote: "I am forced to say that the sheer number of allegations of impropriety and illegality - many of them centred around Downing Street and your Premiership - is quite simply making your position untenable.
