London: The problem is brewing for British Prime Minister Boris Johnson as his supporters are now demanding the resignation, but he is not ready to resign. Rather, he removed one of his ministers and former big supporters from the post.
Since Tuesday evening, more than 40 ministers and supporters, including three union ministers, have resigned from the Boris Johnson government.
According to local media, conservative leader Boris was tried to be persuaded by members of his cabinet on Wednesday on several occasions that it was time to leave. But in response, he removed Community Secretary Michelle Gove from the post.
He reportedly first told Boris that he should resign now for the good of the Tory party and the country.
Gove played Boris’ right-hand role in Britain’s 2016 Brexit referendum campaign, but then he dramatically fought for conservative leadership against Boris the same year and then in 2019 also stood up to Boris in the conservative leadership battle.
