A Justice Minister named Victoria Atkins has resigned from British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government today, saying “we can and must be better than this.”
“Values such as integrity, decency, respect and professionalism should matter to us all.
“I have have watched with growing concern as those values have fractured under your leadership,” Atkins said in a resignation letter.
This resignation is the latest in more than a dozen resignations which have followed the exit of Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid from cabinet who were the Chancellor and Health Secretary respectively.
