Boris Johnson latest news: Who has resigned from the government?

Robin Walker has resigned as school standards minister:

Michelle Donelan, who was previously the universities minister, has been appointed as the new education minister following Nadhim Zahavi’s reshuffle.

The Association of School and College Governors has since welcomed her in her new role, but expressed concern about the “high turnover” of education secretaries.

“This is the sixth president in eight years and the third during Boris Johnson’s premiership,” said leader Geoff Barton.

“Education is a vital public service and a complex sector that requires deep understanding, knowledge and continuity. This constant chopping and changing does not make for stable leadership.”

The morning media tour over, the new chancellor arrived at the Treasury for his first day in the role.

Nadhim Zahavi posed for photographers near the door of his new office:

Nadhim Zahavi said he was “sorry to see” Laura Trott and Will Quince resign this morning.

He told BBC Radio 4’s today program: “I’m sorry to lose any Conservative and certainly sorry to lose a talented MP like Laura Trott. What I would say to her is how you build trust by giving people results.”

He added: “I’m sorry to see Will Quince go. He was a minister to my children and families and a wonderful minister. All I would say to colleagues is people don’t vote for disparate teams. We have to come together.”

This seems like a good time to do a quick summary of someone who has resigned in protest at Boris Johnson’s leadership.

John Stone and Samuel Lovett made a list:

Ed Ball had a boogie this morning when he inadvertently blared “bye, bye, Boris” in the background of a media interview.

Earlier this week, Will Quince was sent under media scrutiny for defending the Prime Minister in the Chris Pincher scandal.

The former minister says that he is resigning now because he will not accept the fact that he is being sent inaccurate information.

He told broadcasters earlier this week that he had been given “categorical assurances” that Mr Johnson was not “aware of the specific allegations” against the former deputy chief whip, who had been accused of sexual harassment.

A spokesman for No 10 later said the Prime Minister had forgotten what he had been told about the allegations.

Here’s an example from one of his interviews earlier this week:

Former Tory MP Dominic Grieve is among those criticizing the Prime Minister this morning.

He said the resignations of Risha Sunak and Sajid Javid were “massive evidence of Boris Johnson’s lack of moral scruples, his behavior and his ability to lie”.

The former attorney general said the prime minister was creating “chaos” and believed Nadhim Zahavi would regret taking on the role of chancellor.

His interview with Sky News is here:

Will Quince says he is resigning as children’s minister after he “accepted and repeated assurances” to the media that were “inaccurate”.
