Boris Johnson's health and finance minister quit, saying they have lost confidence in British PM

Health Secretary Sajid Javid announced his resignation in a statement, saying he could "no longer continue in good conscience".The resignations came as Mr Johnson was apologising for what he said was a mistake for not realising that a former minister in charge of pastoral care was unsuitable for a job in government after complaints of sexual misconduct were made against him.

Mr Sunak, who had reportedly clashed with the Prime Minister in private about spending, said: "For me to step down as Chancellor while the world is suffering the economic consequences of the pandemic, the war in Ukraine and other serious challenges is a decision that I have not taken lightly.""I recognise this may be my last ministerial job, but I believe these standards are worth fighting for and that is why I am resigning.
