The UK's Finance Minister Rishi Sunak and Health minister Sajid Javid have resigned from Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government. Both are key members of Johnson's Cabinet and their resignations are major blows. Mr Sunak, in his letter, said that he is sad to be leaving government, but has come to the conclusion that we cannot continue like this. Mr Javid said he has lost confidence in Johnson's ability to govern in the national interest after a series of scandals, saying he could no longer continue in good conscience. He said that many lawmakers and the public had lost confidence in Johnson's ability to govern in the national interest. The ministerial exits come as a big blow to Johnson's leadership and follow a day of high political drama since a former civil servant spoke out about Downing Street's handling of allegations against recently suspended MP Chris Pincher.
