Two key senior ministers resign from UK PM Johnson's cabinet
01:49

Two of Britain's most senior cabinet ministers resigned within minutes of each other on July 5, a move that could spell the end of Prime Minister Boris Johnson's leadership.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid resigned a day after criticizing the prime minister for his handling of sexual misconduct allegations against a senior government member.

Sunak said, "The public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously." He added that he believes that these standards are worth fighting for and therefore justify his resignation.
