Rishi Sunak's Unexpected Moves
Rishi Sunak has sparked a surprise mini-reshuffle by reshuffling his cabinet after two ministers unexpectedly resigned. Education Minister Robert Halfon and Armed Forces Minister James Heappey have both stepped down just months before a crucial general election.
Ministers Who Resigned
Robert Halfon, who served as Education Minister, and James Heappey, who held the position of Armed Forces Minister, have both handed in their resignations. They have also announced their plans to resign as Members of Parliament when the next election takes place.
Reasons Behind Resignations
James Heappey, a former soldier, stated that he made the "painful decision" to prioritize his family and explore a new career path. On the other hand, Robert Halfon mentioned that after two decades in politics, he believes it is the right time for him to step down.
