2. This is the summary:

Summary

Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid quit Boris Johnson's cabinet amid a row over the handling of misconduct claims against ex-Deputy Chief Whip Chris Pincher
Sunak says the public expect "government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously"
Javid tells the PM he can "no longer, in good conscience, continue serving in this government"
Boris Johnson says it was "a mistake" to make Chris Pincher deputy chief whip given complaints about his conduct
The PM says "with hindsight it is the wrong thing to do and I apologise to everyone who has been badly affected by it"
Pincher was suspended as a Tory MP last week after being accused of groping two men at a private members club while drunk
The incident - and many subsequent allegations - have put pressure on Johnson to explain what he knew about Pincher's past when he appointed him
Lord McDonald, the former top civil servant in the Foreign Office, has accused No 10 of not telling the truth
Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner says "this constant charade just will not wash"

7. It's the implosion of a right-wing government of a key ally. I think it's

interesting and relevant. If you don’t care, why did you bother to look at the thread and comment?

8. I mean, do we care because it's the right-wing that is imploding.

With a little luck, the same thing will happen here.
