Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid resign from Boris Johnson's government
The chancellor said he was resigning because "the public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously".
The health secretary said that following last month's vote of confidence, "it is clear to me that this situation will not change under your leadership - and you have therefore lost my confidence too". The news comes after criticism of Boris Johnson's government, and after the PM apologised for appointing MP Chris Pincher to a government role, despite a complaint against him.
