Sajid Javid delivered a poignant speech in the Commons explaining his reasons for quitting government. Watch it in full here
Former Health Secretary Sajid Javid delivered a poignant statement to MPs today after he resigned from the government, telling the Commons "enough is enough" saying it's time for a change of leadership.
He said he was no longer willing to risk "losing his integrity" by serving in Boris Johnson's government. Mr Javid was closely followed by Chancellor Rishi Sunak, and a swarm of junior ministers, with 18 resignations from Tory MPs in less than 24 hours in a mass exodus from government. "I also believe a team is as good as its team captain and a captain is as good as his or her team. So, loyalty must go both ways.He added it is "not fair" on ministerial colleagues to go out every morning defending lines that "don't stand up and don't hold up".
