Boris Johnson's Government has been hit by more resignations this morning. News of the two resignations were broken to new Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi while he was being interviewed on BBC Radio 4.
Laura Trott has resigned her role as parliamentary private secretary to the Secretary of State for Transport. She said in a Facebook post: “Trust in politics is – and must always be – of the upmost importance, but sadly in recent months this has been lost.
“Thank you to all of you who have written to me expressing your views. I have read them carefully, and taken them into consideration as part of my decision. I have, and will always, put the residents of Sevenoaks and Swanley front and centre of my work in Westminster.”
