City Minister John Glen published a letter in which he explained his move with “absolute distrust” of the prime minister and the way he led.
Five UK ministers have resigned amid another scandal in which Prime Minister Boris Johnson was not directly involved.
So, on Wednesday, July 6, John Glen, Economic Secretary of the Treasury and City Minister of the British Government, announced his resignation.
“It is with deep regret that I have left the government,” Glen wrote in a Twitter.
In a published letter, the politician mentioned that he resigned because he felt “absolute distrust” of the prime minister and the way he led, nor was he satisfied with his “lack of vision.”
“The country deserves better,” Glen added.
In addition, Secretary of State for Schools Robin Walker, Secretary for Children and Families Will Quince, Attorney General Victoria Atkins and Minister for Agro-Innovation and Climate Change Adaptation Joe Churchill will leave the government.
Solicitor General (Deputy Attorney General) Alex Chuck and other officials left the government the previous day. Bim Afolami also resigned from the position of deputy chairman of the Conservative Party.
The layoffs came amid a scandal that erupted last week when it was reported that the deputy chief organizer of the ruling Conservative Party in the House of Commons, Chris Pincher, had staged a drunken riot at London’s elite Conservative club Carlton in Piccadilly. Two men molested the drunk 52-year-old politician. He did not deny it and resigned. At the same time, it emerged that Johnson, when Pincher was assigned, knew he had previously been suspected of harassment. The prime minister apologized to voters.
British Finance Minister Rishi Sunak and Health Minister Sajid Javid resigned yesterday after criticizing Prime Minister Boris Johnson for their statements. However, it has now been revealed that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has planned to stay in office and has already appointed new ministers to replace him.
