Sajid Javid quit the government in Boris Johnson’s reshuffle – only 6 responses you need

The biggest news to come out of Boris Johnson’s Cabinet reshuffle was the shock resignation of chancellor for about 15 minutes Sajid Javid, who quit after he was told by the so-called PM to sack all his advisors.

BREAK: Sajid Javid has resigned.

A budget is due in less than a month.

He becomes the shortest serving Chancellor since Iain Macleod (who died in office).

This reshuffle just got a lot more interesting.

Sajid Javid
You liked to tell us
You were the son of a bus driver
Now Cummings has thrown you under a bus
Which is ironic
Frankly.

Apols to EJ Thribb (17)

There was also this, from Labour MP Yvette Cooper.

Respect. Also, Sajid Javid was the only Tory MP who contacted me directly on Friday to express support & solidarity when a Tory activist was sentenced for violent threats against me https://t.co/Cw9LbgLjqK
