Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid resigned on Tuesday (5 July) over Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s handling of the Chris Pincher scandal.
Sunak said in his resignation letter: “The public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously. I recognise this may be my last ministerial job, but I believe these standards are worth fighting for and that is why I am resigning.”
The resignations came after No 10 admitted Mr Johnson was aware of the misconduct allegations lodged against Mr Pincher.
