Another Uk Government minister resigns.
This guy did so on principle because he couldn't go along with the crazy and dangerous decisions of the prime minister... his brother.

@TheSirfurryanimalWales He's resigned as minister but you are right. Personally I think is soneone leaves a party they shoulf have an immediate by election.
Boris has withdrawn the whip from about twenty MPs though and that effectively means kicking them out of the party. I don't know if they should restand because they don't have a choice. The man making most of the decisions at the moment is Dominic Cummings and he has never even been a Tory Party member. Recently fired Chancellor, Phillip Hammond is perhaps right to question who is the real Conservative. Its a question that cuts deep into the battle for the soul of his party.
There is a real war in the Conservatives at the moment between the populist right and the moderate neo liberals. The populist right are winning.

His tweet. I read that as quit as MP, hence my point that this must trigger a by election.
It’s been an honour to represent Orpington for 9 years & to serve as a minister under three PMs. In recent weeks I’ve been torn between family loyalty and the national interest - it’s an unresolvable tension & time for others to take on my roles as MP & Minister. #overandout

@SW-User He's not resigned from the party though, just the government.

@SW-User He is apparantly thinking of standing down at the next gen election. He probably thinks there will not be too long to wait.
