“I admit that this may be the job of my last minister, but I believe these standards are worth fighting, and that’s why I resign.”
Here are both resignations.
Rishi Sunak
Dear Prime Minister,
It is a deep sadness that I am writing to you to resign from the government.
It is a great honor to serve our country as Minister of Finance and we are always proud of how we protected people’s work and business through actions such as Farraf during a pandemic.
Resigning from ministerial office is always a serious problem. For me, who resigns as prime minister while the world is suffering from the economic impact of a pandemic, the war and other serious challenges in Ukraine are decisions I have not downplayed.
But the public naturally expects the government to be done properly, competently and seriously. I realize this may be the job of my last minister, but I believe these standards are worth fighting, and that’s why I resign.
I was loyal to you. I endorsed you to be the leader of our party and encouraged others to do so. I served as your prime minister, thanking me for letting me manage the country’s economy and finances. Above all, I respected the powerful mission given to you by the British people in 2019 and how we broke the Brexit deadlock under your leadership.
That’s why I’ve always tried to compromise to achieve what you want to achieve. If I personally disagree with you, I have publicly assisted you. That is the nature of collective government on which our system depends, and it is especially important that the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister continue to unite in the difficult times we are experiencing today.
Our country faces major challenges. We both want low taxes, a high-growth economy, and world-class public services, if we work hard, make sacrifices, and are ready to make difficult decisions. Can only be provided responsibly.
I firmly believe that the public is ready to hear the truth. Our people know that if something is too good to be true, it is not true. They need to know that although there is a way to a better future, it is not an easy way. In preparation for next week’s joint speech on the economy, it became clear that our approach was fundamentally too different.
It’s sad to leave the government, but we reluctantly come to the conclusion that we can’t continue this way.
Sajid Javid
It was an honor to be asked to return to the Government to serve as Secretary of State as Minister of Health at a very important time for our country. I put all my energy into this work and I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved.
The UK has been a world leader in learning to live with Covid. Thanks to the amazing rollout of our booster program, our investment in treatment, and the innovation in the way we deliver healthcare, British people have enjoyed months more freedom than any other comparable country. rice field.
We have also made significant progress in the restoration and reform of the NHS and adult social care. The longest waiters have declined by 70%, and as you know, I have been working hard on the broader modernization of the NHS.
I have also created a health inequalities white paper that develops a radical new approach to dementia, cancer and mental health and sets out plans to improve the health outcomes of communities that have been left behind for too long. ..
Given the unprecedented scale of challenges in health and social care, it was my instinct to stay focused on this important task.
So it’s a shame I have to tell you that I can no longer continue to serve this government conscientiously. I’m an instinctively team player, but the British people naturally expect the government to be honest.
The tones you set as leaders, and the values you represent, are reflected in your colleagues, your party, and ultimately the country. Conservatives are at their best, guided by strong values and considered smart decision makers.
We are not always popular, but we have the ability to act for the national interest. Sadly, in the current situation, the public concludes that we are neither now.
Last month’s vote of no confidence showed that many colleagues agreed. It was a moment for humility, grip, and a new direction. But unfortunately, it’s clear that this situation doesn’t change under your leadership. Therefore, you too have lost my confidence.
It’s been three years since I entered Downing Street. By seeing off the threat of corbinism and breaking the deadlock in Brexit, you will be trusted forever.
You have shed a very welcome light on the regional disparities in our country, the agenda that continues to define our politics.
These are praiseworthy heritage of an unprecedented era. But the country needs a strong and principled Conservative Party, which is bigger than any individual. | Served you faithfully and as a friend, but we all serve the country first. When letting you choose from those loyalty, there is only one answer.
Finally, I would like to thank the Minister, my colleagues in the department, the NHS and social care staff, and my love for my family, who have become very patient in these difficult times.
