Johnson fires a minister who called him to resign
The British government announced that Prime Minister Boris Johnson dismissed the Secretary of State for Housing and Communities, Michael Gove, who had earlier called on the prime minister to resign, local media reported.
James Dudridge, an adviser to the prime minister, told Sky News that Johnson had “sacked Michael Gove”, stressing that the prime minister would not resign and would “fight” to stay in power.
Johnson refused to resign from his position despite calls by ministers in his government for him to step down, British media reported on Wednesday.
Johnson’s cabinet delegation met in the wake of dozens of resignations from his government.
Johnson pledged to stay focused on “the very important issues facing the country”.
