Boris Johnson is facing another colossal political crisis that could jeopardize his future as prime minister of the United Kingdom following the resignation of two powerful members of his government. Over the past few hours, Health Minister Sajid Javid and Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, who actually ranks third in the British executive, have resigned.

Both were harsh on Johnson in their farewell letters, which delve into the weaknesses of the Conservative prime minister after a vote of confidence a month ago in which 148 MPs Tori They voted against their leader.

Sajid Javid was the first to step down on Tuesday after saying he could not remain in government “in good conscience.” In a very persuasive letter, Javid emphasizes that the Conservative Party has not always been popular, but has always been considered a good manager. “Unfortunately, the population is coming to the conclusion that now we are neither one nor the other,” the former minister wrote.

Javid refers to last month’s vote of confidence and assures that the time has come for a renewed and modest leadership, which now, as he clearly says, “will not be achieved under your command”, referring to Boris Johnson, whom he claims to “lose credibility »

Minutes later, it was Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak who joined the earthquake against Boris Johnson and announced his resignation, criticizing the fact that the electorate rightly expects that “government is carried out adequately, competently and seriously.”

Sunak warned that differences with Boris Johnson are currently insurmountable and cited an economic plan they were supposed to present together next week.

“I strongly believe that people are ready to hear the truth. Our people know that if something seems too good to be true, then it is a lie. They need to know that there is a path to a better future, but it is not an easy path. When we prepared our joint statement next week, it became clear to me that our approaches are fundamentally very different, ”Sunak wrote in farewell.

These two resignations occurred against the backdrop of another scandal around Boris Johnson, caused by the resignation of the “number two” of the Tory parliamentary group, Chris Pincher, who was accused of sexual excesses. The case was spilled by the prime minister himself, who is accused of knowing about the case for a long time and did not act.
