Three more Johnson cabinet ministers resign.

Among them is the Minister of Security Damian Hinds, who is the third resignation for this morning.

"We don't need the resignation of dozens of colleagues, but for our country and faith in our democracy we must have a change of leadership," says Hinds' resignation letter.

Treasury Minister Helen Whately and Northern Ireland Minister Brandon Lewis have also resigned.

The United Kingdom woke up on Thursday morning with 50 members of the government having left their posts.

Instead of resigning, Johnson responded by sacking secretary Gove, who had earlier told the prime minister in a face-to-face meeting that he believed his position was untenable, given the number of MPs who had turned against him. his.

After Gove was sacked, Johnson's allies reportedly described him as a "snake". They said the prime minister had no plans to retire.

But criticism has continued to mount. Backbencher Andrew Murrison, who resigned as trade envoy on Tuesday, tweeted: “The situation is now getting out of hand. The absolute duty of the remaining ministers in Mr Johnson's remaining government to resign. No one who makes the positive choice to remain should stand in the next leadership race."

Bob Neill, chairman of the judicial selection committee, responded: “You're right, Andrew. Our country is being made ridiculous by one person's obsessive selfishness.”
