New Education Secretary Michelle Donelan resigned after only 36 hours in the position, and Nadhim Zahawi, who was chosen to succeed Rishi Sunak, also requested the Prime Minister to resign.

Boris Johnson, who was already under criticism for his Covid parties, now had to contend with a full-fledged uprising over the choice of Chris Pincher to serve as the party’s deputy chief whip. Following accusations that he inappropriately touched two male coworkers in a London bar while intoxicated, the deputy chief whip was forced to resign. Following this development, Pincher was accused of numerous sexual assaults.

He was chosen by Boris Johnson to serve as the deputy chief whip despite the fact that he was aware of these accusations in February. The party’s lawmakers declared that they could no longer back a leader who blatantly lied. This sparked a wave of resignations from his cabinet, leading to Johnson’s departure from 10 Downing Street.
