Britain’s Finance Minister Philip Hammond (pictured) said on Sunday (21 July) he would resign on Wednesday (24 July) before his expected sacking by the favourite to become Britain’s next prime minister, Boris Johnson, takes office, writes Elizabeth Piper.

“I am sure I am not going to be sacked because I am going to resign before we get to that point,” Hammond told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show.

“Assuming that Boris Johnson becomes prime minister, I understand that his conditions for serving in his government would include accepting a no-deal (EU) exit on 31 October. That is not something I could ever sign up to.”
