The sudden joint resignations of Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid have had a devastating impact on Boris Johnson’s government. The crisis has weakened the administration at a time when it should have been focusing on the country’s looming economic challenges. Internationally, the Ukrainian conflict could spark a wider European war. However, the Prime Minister has earned the goodwill of the Ukrainian people by leading the western response to the conflict. Unfortunately, numerous scandals have tarnished Mr Johnson’s reputation and eroded the public’s trust in the government. The Chris Pincher debacle has been the tipping point for many, revealing what appears to be a cover-up by No. 10, and leading to four catastrophic by-election defeats for the Conservative Party.
Mr Johnson is known for his fighting spirit and may attempt to overhaul his top team, but it is unclear who would be willing to join his administration at this juncture. He faces a difficult time today, with both Prime Minister’s questions in the Commons and a long-standing session with his own party’s most outspoken critics. Mr Javid and Mr Sunak’s criticisms have serious implications for the government and the Conservative Party. They’ve pointed to a lack of principles, competence, and seriousness in government. These are not just opposition complaints or the musings of detractors. This is an existential crisis for the government and the Conservative Party. It must be addressed for the good of both the party and the country.
