In a message on Twitter, he writes that the government is expected to carry out correct, competent and serious work. In the letter of resignation, the Minister of Finance writes that this may be his last ministerial job, but that he believes that “these standards” are worth fighting for. That’s why he’s leaving.

The incident led to a no-confidence vote against the prime minister in the Conservatives’ party group. Every single Conservative MP voted. With 211 votes, Johnson received support from 58.8 percent of the members. 41.2 percent voted to cast him. But it did not stop there. Johnson and the Conservative Party have been involved in several scandals over the past year. Earlier this month, Tory politician Chris Pincher was suspended from the party after accusations that he had tapped two men in drunkenness, writes NTB. Recently, by-elections had to be held in two constituencies because the conservative representatives from there had to resign. One for watching porn during a parliamentary session, the other after being sentenced to prison for abusing a 15-year-old boy.
