In the wake of a mass resignation at 10 Downing Street, UK citizens are wondering what the chances are of Boris Johnson being removed from office. 

At the time of writing, more than 30 MPs have already resigned from their positions in government, including Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid.

Deputy news editor at Sky News, Sam Coates, has now explained the two scenarios which could see the Prime Minister being removed from government. Check out the clip here:

Sky News outlined the possible scenarios on Twitter, writing: “@SamCoatesSky outlines the two different 'workstreams' that could see Boris Johnson removed from office:

“1) A cabinet member - like Michael Gove - could tell the PM 'that his time is up'.

“2) If more MPs resign the govt will fall.”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sunak, and Secretary of State for Health and Social Care of the United Kingdom, Javid, have already resigned from the government.

The announcements followed soon after the 'Partygate' scandal which saw British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Sunak fined for breaking coronavirus lockdown regulations as a result of parties held in 10 Downing Street.

It also follows the triggering of a vote of no confidence in Johnson which was held on 6 June.

The two Conservative members of parliament posted their letters of resignation on Twitter.

Sunak tweeted his letter of resignation alongside the caption: "The public rightly expects government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously.

"I recognise this may be my last ministerial job, but I believe these standards are worth fighting for and that is why I am resigning.

"My letter to the Prime Minister below."

Javid similarly stepped down from his role and informed the UK of his resignation on the social media platform.

He said: "I have spoken to the Prime Minister to tender my resignation as Secretary of State for Health & Social Care.

"It has been an enormous privilege to serve in this role, but I regret that I can no longer continue in good conscience."

Javid reflected on how members of the Conservative Party 'at their best are seen as hard-headed decision-makers, guided by strong values'.

Admitting the party 'may not have always been popular,' he argued it has 'been competent in acting in the national interest'.

Johnson has not yet informed the public about stepping down from his role, although he did previously pledge to ‘keep going’ amid the mass resignation in his party.
