Two government ministers resign from Sunak's government
TWO government ministers have resigned in a move seen as a further blow to the credibility of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Robert Halfon has resigned as skills minister and James Heappey followed through on his stated intention to step down as armed forces minister.
Neither will stand at the general election, which is expected in October or November, with 63 Tory MPs now publicly declaring they will not contest their seat.
