Fresh blow for British Prime Minister Boris as his brother resigns from Parliament

British Prime minister Boris Johnson has been dealt another blow as his brother Jo Johnson announced that he is quitting the UK government.

In a tweet, Jo Johnson said that he has been torn between family and loyalty and the national interest as a whole.

He further said that it is an unresolvable tension and time for others to take on his roles as a Member of Parliament and a minister.

It’s been an honour to represent Orpington for 9 years & to serve as a minister under three PMs. In recent weeks I’ve been torn between family loyalty and the national interest – it’s an unresolvable tension & time for others to take on my roles as MP & Minister. #overandout
