Devizes MP resigns from Government role
He also said yesterday that the Prime Minister should leave
Devizes MP Danny Kruger has resigned from his role within Government, after the sacking of Michael Gove last night (Wednesday 6th July).
Mr Kruger took to Twitter yesterday evening to announce the news that he would no longer be the Parliamentary Private Secretary for the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.
It comes after Salisbury MP John Glen also stood down from being the Economic Secretary to the Treasury.
Mr Kruger also said that he had told Number 10 that Prime Minister Boris Johnson should be the one leaving.
His tweet said:
"Very sorry indeed to hear @michaelgove has been fired by the PM. As I told No 10 earlier today it should be the PM leaving office. I am resigning as PPS at @Dluhc."
Danny is one of more than 50 MPs who have resigned from Government, with many more calling for the PM to quit.
