Letter to the Prime Minister

With a heavy heart I wrote to the Prime Minister this morning to resign as Minister for Science, Research and Innovation.

This can’t go on.

The collapse of confidence in the PM means he must go, fast, with a Caretaker PM in post quickly in the next few days, so that Ministers can get back to work, Government can function, and a new Leader chosen to properly this summer having been tested properly in the country during summer hustings.
