Now, Boris Johnson's own brother quits as MP in Parliament... (so much winning!)

Jo Johnson, Boris Johnson’s brother, has resigned as a minister and MP for Orpington.



“In recent weeks I’ve been torn between family loyalty and the national interest – it’s an unresolvable tension and time for others to take on my roles as MP and minister,” he said in a surprise announcement on Thursday morning.

He has been appointed a universities minister when his brother became prime minister last month.

Jo Johnson raised eyebrows by accepting the position in his brother’s government given he had been a vocal supporter of holding a second Brexit referendum. --snip--

Boris Johnson has triggered a backlash among his own MPs after he purged the parliamentary party of those who voted in favor of an Article 50 extension.

They too are grifting criminals who would leave if they had even a shred of caring, conscience or morals - but they have zero so stay on and suck off that teat.
