Johnson’s government suffers a new setback when two important British ministers resign.

Tuesday’s resignation of British Ministers of Health Sajid Javid and Finance Rishi Sunak was the latest setback for Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s administration.

The two, who are among the most senior officials in Britain, announced their resignations minutes apart, throwing the administration into a serious dilemma.

The development was the latest scandal to blight Johnson’s administration.

Javid and Sunak’s exit from the government came a few hours after the prime minister apologised for appointing a lawmaker to a role involved in offering pastoral care to his party.

Since then, Johnson has selected Nadhim Zahawi, the minister of education, as his new finance minister, moving Steve Barclay, who joined the cabinet in February, to the health ministry.

In his resignation letter, Javid said: It is with enormous regret that I must tell you that I can no longer, in good conscience, continue serving in this government.

“I am instinctively a team player but the British people also rightly expect integrity from their government.”

On his part, Sunak stated: “The public rightly expects the government to be conducted properly, competently, and, seriously.”
