Could the house of cards be toppling?
Rishi Sunak has just resigned from the cabinet.
In his letter he says "the public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously".
He adds: "I believe these standards are worth fighting for and that is why I am resigning".
Sunak says "our country is facing immense challenges".
"I publicly believe the public are ready to hear that truth. Our people know that if something is too good to be true then it's not true. They need to know that whilst there is a path to a better future, it is not an easy one.
"In preparation for our proposed joint speech on the economy next week, it has become clear to me that our approaches are fundamentally too different."
"I am sad to be leaving government but I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that we cannot continue like this", he adds.
