UK finance and health ministers Rishi Sunak and Savid Javid resigned on Tuesday in protest at Boris Johnson’s “lack of integrity, competence and leadership”, casting doubt on the prime minister’s succession. Johnson’s lies are at stake to absolve himself of responsibility for yet another scandal, this time involving allegations of sexual harassment against an MP.
The resignations of the two powerful ministers were submitted almost simultaneously late Tuesday afternoon, apparently in a coordinated maneuver, just as the prime minister was being interviewed to apologize for shortcomings in the MP’s case. Pincher, who was suspended last week after molesting two men at a London club. Johnson, who appointed Pincher as Deputy Leader of the Conservative Bench in Parliament, began by saying he was unaware of previous misconduct allegations against the MP, but his office eventually admitted on Tuesday that the prime minister had been personally informed of the allegations. prior to Pincher’s appointment. According to the office, Johnson “forgot he was briefed.”
“People expect the government to be led seriously and competently. I have come to the conclusion that this cannot continue,” Sunak wrote in his resignation letter.
