CHANCELLOR Nadhim Zahawi has told Boris Johnson: “You must do the right thing and go now.”
Nadhim Zahawi, who was appointed Chancellor on Tuesday evening, has told Prime Minister Boris Johnson to “do the right thing and go now”.
In a tweet accompanying a letter, Mr Zahawi said: “Prime Minister: this is not sustainable and it will only get worse: for you, for the Conservative Party and most importantly of all the country. You must do the right thing and go now.”
Education Secretary Michelle Donelan, who was only appointed earlier this week, also resigned just minutes after Mr Zahawi's announcement.
“You have put us in an impossible situation," she said. "I am deeply saddened that it has come to this, but as someone who values integrity above all else, I have no choice."
