Salisbury's MP quits government role
John Glen frustrated by Prime Minister's leadership
Last updated 6th Jul 2022
Salisbury's MP has resigned from his role as Economic Secretary to the Treasury citing Boris Johnson's 'poor judgement.'
In a scathing letter John Glen said; "I can no longer reconcile my commitment to the role and to the financial services sector with the complete lack of confidence I have in your continuing leadership of our country."
The Conservative who will now return to the backbenches added the 'country deserves better.'
Last night South West Wiltshire MP Andrew Murrison, who represents Tisbury, quit his role as Trade Envoy to Morocco.
Mr Murrison's announcement came after Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid resigned.
Victoria Atkins has also stepped down as Home Office minister
More resignations are expected today.
It comes as a growing number of Tory MPs call for an immediate rule change to the 1922 Committee of backbenchers’ rulebook in order to force Mr Johnson from office.
