Wow: Boris Johnson's *brother* is quitting politics after nine years, he's currently universities minister. Not exactly a vote of confidence in his government.

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
