Really? A month made a change?More ministers have resigned today from government than have ever done before in a single day, higher than the previous record of 11 ministers quitting in September 1932.
Fourteen have left Boris Johnson's government today, and since 6pm yesterday evening when then Chancellor Rishi Sunak and health secretary Sajid Javid resigned, seventeen ministers have left in total.
More junior, non-ministerial Conservative MPs have also quit, meaning several dozen members of the government have now gone.
[...]
As well as the resignations from within Mr Johnson's cabinet, several international trade envoys and parliamentary private secretaries have left their posts, while other backbench Conservative colleagues have publicly stated their lack of confidence in the prime minister.
[...]
Only Theresa May's time in charge of a Brexit-split Conservative Party saw more ministers quitting in shorter time over the first three years of governing.
[...]
Mr Johnson won a vote of no confidence from his parliamentary party in early June, but it resulted in 41.2% of his Conservative MPs voting against him. A number of MPs who said they voted for the PM at the time have since announced they would vote differently if the ballot were held again.
