Boris Johnson: Welsh Secretary Simon Hart quits cabinet

Feb 16,2020 6:35 am

Welsh Secretary Simon Hart has become the latest cabinet member to resign from Boris Johnson 's government, as pressure continues to mount on the Prime Minister .

He was among senior cabinet ministers who earlier urged Mr Johnson to go.

In his resignation letter, Mr Hart Said colleagues had done their utmost to " turn The Ship around" but he no longer thought it was possible.

Earlier, the Prime Minister Said he intended to.

Levelling Up Secretary and former leadership rival to Mr Johnson, Michael Gove , also called on the Prime Minister to quit.

He has since been.

Conservative Senedd leader, Andrew RT Davies, Said : " I think we're in the End Game now. "

He added that it was " a matter of time because clearly that parliamentary majority has disappeared" and called on the Prime Minister to " reflect on his position and allow Someone Else to take on that mantle to deliver The Conservative manifesto".

Mr Johnson is fighting to keep his job after two of his top ministers attacked his leadership and resigned within 10 Minutes of each other on Tuesday.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid quit, followed by several junior ministers and aides.

The Bbc has been told Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng is also calling on Mr Johnson to resign.

It Follows Mr Johnson's decision to appoint Chris Pincher as deputy Chief Whip earlier this year,

During Wednesday's Welsh Questions, Mr Hart was asked by Plaid Cymru MP, Liz Saville Roberts, " when will he be going? "

Mr Hart, MP for Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire, insisted it was " business as usual in the Wales Office".

His predecessor, Preseli Pembrokeshire MP Stephen Crabb , has called for Mr Johnson to resign " for The Good of the country".

He Said trust in the UK government " had been draining away month after month" as controversies piled up.

He Said recent events shone a spotlight on questions " about honesty that have hung over the Prime Minister all year".

The remarks from Mr Crabb, who confirmed he voted against Mr Johnson in the confidence vote last month, came as a second Welsh Conservative MP quit as a government aide, with another threatening to do so.

In an He Said : " In the run-up to that vote a handful of constituents contacted me to urge that we give Boris Another Chance .

" Pembrokeshire was a Brexit-voting county and many local people credit Boris with Getting It across The Line .

" But I have No Doubt whatsoever that a majority of my constituents now want to see him move aside to allow fresh leadership to come forward.

" Every Day I open my email inbox, every Q& A session I hold in the constituency, every Time I visit Tesco or Morrisons in Haverfordwest, the feedback I receive is consistent and overwhelming: Boris Johnson should resign. "

Meanwhile, Montgomeryshire Conservative MP Craig Williams resigned as a government aide, as has Tory Vale of Clwyd MP James Davies , with Brecon and Radnorshire MP Fay Jones threatening to follow suit.

Mr Davies Said it was " impossible to defend" the Prime Minister , adding it was " clear that The Party and the country are no longer governable" under him.

Mr Williams, a (PPS) to the Treasury, Said it was becoming impossible for Mr Johnson to rebuild trust with The Public .

Ms Jones, PPS to the, Said she would quit on Thursday if Mr Johnson is still in office over an " erosion of trust and decency at The Heart of government".

On Tuesday night,

Previously a strong supporter of Mr Johnson, Mr Davies Said much of the " damage has been self-inflicted" by Downing Street.

Speaking on, Mr Davies Said : " It's really tough. There's no underestimating what has happened in The Last 24 hours".

During Prime Minister 's Questions, Ms Saville Roberts accused Mr Johnson of putting " Political Survival over public duty".

But She Said whatever happened " the same Westminster arrogance will continue to dictate Our Futures in Wales" asking him if he wanted a " medal for being The Best recruiting sergeant for independence we could wish for? "

The Prime Minister responded: " I see the bonds of our union are being strengthened the whole time. "

Wales' First Minister Mark Drakeford called for a general election to determine which Political Party should occupy Downing Street.

" Let The People of the United Kingdom decide whether this is a government they want to see continue or whether, as I believe they would want, to see a Fresh Start , " He Said .
