Michelle Donelan, who was only appointed as education secretary on Tuesday, has resigned from the post.
In her resignation letter to Boris Johnson, shared on Twitter Thursday, Donelan said she could “see no way that you can continue in post, but without a formal mechanism to remove you it seems that the only way that this is only possible is for those of us who remain in cabinet to force your hand.”
After Sajid Javid resigned from the role of education secretary on Tuesday, Johnson gave Donelan the position in a cabinet reshuffle.
