Boris Johnson govt hit by more resignations

In a fresh blow to UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who recently survived a leadership challenge, three more have resigned from his government on Wednesday, media reports said. Education ministers Will Quince and Robin Walker and ministerial aide Laura Trott on Wednesday, BBC reported. Will Quince said he had “no choice but to tender my resignation” while Laura Trott said she was quitting over a loss of “trust” in the government.The resignations have added to the pressure on the Prime Minister following the departure of his health and finance ministers. Two of Boris Johnson’s top ministers — Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid — quit the government on Tuesday. “I have spoken to the Prime Minister to tender my resignation as Secretary of State for Health & Social Care. It has been an enormous privilege to serve in this role, but I regret that I can no longer continue in good conscience,” Javid had said in a tweet.
