British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will face questions in parliament followed by a grilling by senior lawmakers today, with his premiership on the brink after a slew of resignations from ministers saying he was not fit to govern, Reuters reports.
Johnson’s finance and health secretaries quit on Tuesday, along with a number of junior ministers, saying they could no longer stay in government in the wake of the latest of a series of scandals to have blighted his administration in recent months.
A growing number of lawmakers in his ruling Conservative Party have said the game is up for Johnson. But he showed his determination to remain in office by appointing Nadhim Zahawi, previously education minister, as his new finance minister, and filling some of the other vacancies.
The real one is gone.
