Two of the most senior members of Boris Johnson’s cabinet quit in quick succession, a dramatic move that puts the UK prime minister in deep peril after a series of scandals that have severely eroded his authority. Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak said in a letter to the prime minister on Tuesday that “we cannot continue like this,” while Health Secretary Sajid Javid told Johnson that he’s lost confidence in him. Both men published their resignation letters on Twitter. “The public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously,” Sunak wrote. “I believe these standards are worth fighting for and that is why I am resigning.” Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2TwO8Gm Subscribe to our newest channel Quicktake Explained: https://bit.ly/3iERrup Bloomberg Quicktake brings you live global news and original shows spanning business, technology, politics and culture.
