Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid resign from cabinet
Sajid Javid and Rishi Sunak have both quit as ministers in a devastating blow to Boris Johnson.
Javid turned on the PM first, announcing: I have spoken to the prime minister to tender my resignation as secretary of state for health and social care.
It has been an enormous privilege to serve in this role, but I regret that I can no longer continue in good conscience.
Sunak confirmed he was resigning as Chancellor moments later, saying: I recognise this may be my last ministerial job, but I believe these standards are worth fighting for and that is why I am resigning.
Steve Barclay will be promoted to health secretary and replace Javid, it was later confirmed.
Nadhim Zahawi formerly the education secretary was announced as the new chancellor of the exchequer, Downing Street said.
