The British Ministers of Health and Finance announced their resignation on Tuesday July 5. Their decisions disavow Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who is increasingly under pressure.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is once again under extreme pressure. “Two senior ministers have announced their resignation. First that of Health, Sajid Javid, then a few minutes later that of Finance, Rishi Sunak”explains Maëlys Septembre, correspondent in London (United Kingdom), Tuesday, July 5. “It is in his own camp that Boris Johnson is disavowed. A few weeks ago, already, he had faced a vote of no confidence among the Tory MPs. He had only won it by a narrow majority”continues the journalist.
The Tories blame the British Prime Minister “the succession of scandals surrounding him, notably that of partygate but also the latest: Boris Johnson has admitted to having appointed a Conservative MP accused of sexual assault to a key post”specifies Maëlys Septembre. “He has since apologized but it has reignited the anger of Conservative MPs. It remains to be seen how far this can go”concludes the journalist.
