Two of his senior Cabinet colleagues, including chancellor Rishi Sunak, resigned on Tuesday after a massive blow to British prime minister Boris Johnson. In his resignation letter, Sunak told Johnson, "it has become clear to me that our approaches are fundamentally too different." The 42-year-old British Indian minister posted his resignation letter on Twitter soon after Sajid Javid, UK health secretary, resigned.

"The public rightly expects the government to be conducted properly, competently, and seriously. I recognize this may be my last ministerial job, but I believe these standards are worth fighting for, and that is why I am resigning," he wrote.

After over 50 ministers resigned from the UK government, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, according to media reports, will likely submit his resignation on Thursday. The Prime Minister is expected to make a statement to the country today, CNN reported quoting a Downing Street spokesperson.

Earlier, UK Home Secretary Priti Patel and several Conservative Party lawmakers asked Johnson to tender his resignation after dozens of ministers abandoned his government. “Home Secretary Priti Patel told Johnson that the general view of the Conservative party was that he had to go,” CNN reported.

Almost 30 UK government officials, including key figures like UK Health Secretary Sajid Javid and Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, have already submitted their resignations over the recent scandal involving former deputy chief whip Christopher Pincher.

Earlier today, another minister of his government Brandon Lewis resigned from his position, saying that he no longer believed the values of honesty, integrity, and mutual respect were being upheld by Johnson’s government.

Johnson on Wednesday said that his government would not fold after two of his senior Ministers and a string of junior officials submitted their resignation in protest of his leadership, New York Post reported.

“The job of a prime minister in difficult circumstances when you’ve been handed a colossal mandate is to keep going. And that’s what I’m going to do,” Johnson told lawmakers. “We are going to get on and deliver our mandate and win another general election,” he added.

“One of his key allies, Michael Gove, told the prime minister in a private meeting that the time had come for Mr. Johnson to go,” The New York Times reported.

Britain’s attorney general, Suella Braverman, has called for Johnson to step down and said she would stand for election to replace him if he did.

“If there is a leadership contest, I will put my name into the ring,” she said, New York Times.

Many Tory lawmakers believe Boris Johnson needs to be replaced quickly to mitigate the electoral damage to the party.

The exit of the top minister comes amid the row involving the former Conservative party whip Chris Pincher, who was accused of sexual misconduct.

Last week, Pincher quit as deputy chief whip after claims that he groped two men, but Johnson knew about allegations against him as far back as 2019. The British PM said he regrets giving Pincher a government role as Deputy Chief Whip following the revelation of a misconduct complaint against him.

The British PM has said he regrets giving Pincher a government role as Deputy Chief Whip following the revelation of a misconduct complaint against him.

“In hindsight, it was the wrong thing to do, and I apologize to everyone who has been badly affected by it. I want to make clear that there’s no place in this government for anybody who is predatory or abuses their position of power,” he said.
