A third senior British government politician has resigned from Boris Johnson's cabinet as pressure on the prime minister continues to grow. - Ένας ακόμη υψηλόβαθμος πολιτικός της βρετανικής κυβέρνησης, ο τρίτος κατά σειρά, παραιτήθηκε από το υπουργικό συμβούλιο του Μπόρις Τζόνσον, καθώς οι πιέσεις προς τον Βρετανό πρωθυπουργό συνεχίζουν να αυξάνονται.

Two of Britain's most senior Cabinet ministers have quit, a move that could spell the end of Prime Minister Boris Johnson's leadership after months of scandals.Treasury chief Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid resigned within minutes of each other. Javid said "I can no longer continue in good conscience."Johnson has been hit by allegations he failed to come clean about a lawmaker who was appointed to a senior position despite claims of sexual misconduct. The public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously. I recognise this may be my last ministerial job, but I believe these standards are worth fighting for and that is why I am resigning.My letter to the Prime Minister below. pic.twitter.com/vZ1APB1ik1— Rishi Sunak (@RishiSunak) July 5, 2022 Sunak said "the public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously. ""I recognise this may be my last ministerial job, but I believe these standards are worth fighting for and that is why I am resigning."In a highly critical resignation letter, Javid wrote: "The tone you set as a leader, and the values you represent, reflect on your colleagues, your party and ultimately the country. Conservatives at their best are seen as hard-headed decision-makers, guided by strong values. I have spoken to the Prime Minister to tender my resignation as Secretary of State for Health & Social Care. It has been an enormous privilege to serve in this role, but I regret that I can no longer continue in good conscience. pic.twitter.com/d5RBFGPqXp— Sajid Javid (@sajidjavid) July 5, 2022 "[The confidence vote] was a moment for humility, grip and new direction. I regret to say, however, that it is clear to me that this situation will not change under your leadership - and you have therefore lost my confidence too."Parliamentary private secretary to the Northern Ireland secretary Jonathan Gullis has also resigned, saying for "too long we have been more focused on dealing with our reputational damage rather than delivering for the people of this country and spreading opportunity for all".Fellow parliamentary private secretary Saqib Bhatti MP has also resigned, saying "recent events have undermined trust and standards in public life".And Conservative MP for Hastings and Rye, Sally-Ann Hart, a previous supporter of Johnson, says she is "no longer able to support Boris Johnson as Leader of the Conservative party and Prime Minister".The resignations come as former top British civil servant said Tuesday that Boris Johnson's office wasn't telling the truth about sexual misconduct allegations against a senior member of the prime minister's government.Johnson has faced pressure to explain what he knew about previous misconduct allegations against lawmaker Chris Pincher, who resigned as deputy chief whip on Thursday amid complaints that he groped two men at a private club. Chris Pincher resigned as deputy chief whip after a drunken incident, which turned out not to be an isolated case. Photo / APThe government's explanation shifted repeatedly over the past five days. Ministers initially said Johnson was not aware of any allegations when he promoted Pincher to the post in February.On Monday, a spokesman said Johnson knew of sexual misconduct allegations that were "either resolved or did not progress to a formal complaint."That account did not sit well with Simon McDonald, the most senior civil servant at the UK Foreign Office from 2015 to 2020. In a highly unusual move, he said Tuesday that the prime minister's office still wasn't telling the truth.McDonald said in a letter to the parliamentary commissioner for standards that he received complaints about Pincher's behavior in the summer of 2019, shortly after Pincher became a Foreign Office minister.

The other: a breakthrough future of safety, restoration, and flourishing. The choice between them starts in our minds. Whether we're able to manage our mental states, at a moment of extraordinary turbulence. Whether we react to people who disagree with us with empathy or enmity.

This week's take on Scottish politics definitely has risk at its core. A minutes silence at 11 this morning for Workers' Memorial Day was dedicated to key staff in the NHS and care system.But were they put in danger by UK government negligence over the supply of PPE? When we compare how small countries, such as New Zealand, have handled the Covid 19 pandemic will the Scottish government risk going its own way if the  UK Cabinet insists on ending lockdown prematurely? Will a definitively different Scottish approach be a tipping point swinging undecideds to support Scottish independence?Or will an apparent inbuilt tendency towards caution within the SNP hierarchy hold sway? We ask if lockdown can be eased or ended without a rigorous , trace,contact ,test regime and vaccination programme. Nicola Sturgeon's personal stock is on the rise but what risk will the imminent publication of Alex Salmond's book on his trial pose, if any, to her and the SNP? Along the way we also look at the murmurings from the Scottish political sidelines of the opposition parties over the handling of the pandemic and that Andrew Marr interview. There's also a startling series of revelations about  tempers technologies and, Schrodinger's Dick.

Fund some ideas on the ground across the 29 Ministry of Departments that could lead to automations. They might not and they might not be RPA specific. They might be other tools that are better suited, but just trying to engage that conversation at a practical business level."

It will improve processes or it'll improve speed and delivery of process, but it won't fix a broken process."

Host Ryan Heath interviews Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the head of Greece's New Democracy party and opposition leader in parliament. The outsider and the Mitsotakis dynasty: The opposition leader is the son of a former Greek prime minister, Konstantinos Mitsotakis, yet ran for the party leadership with virtually no support from fellow MPs. Instead, he won in an open primary thanks to support from ordinary Greek center-right voters rather than party elites. “My career is not the typical career of a professional politician," he said. "I was educated in the U.S. and I spent 10 years working in the private sector before I entered politics. At the same time, I'm also considered a reformer within my own party. So I am changing my own party and this sometimes, I'll be very honest with you, is causing friction.” Mitsotakis claims Tsipras has been costly: The New Democracy leader says the price of electing Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in 2015 can be counted by Greeks in cash. “If you just look at the projections of the European Commission back in 2014, they were predicting at the time that the economy would grow 2.9 percent and 3.6 percent in 2015-2016. We had a recession in both. We paid a very heavy bill for experimenting with Mr. Tsipras.” Big ambitions: Mitsotakis says he would not be tinkering around at the edges if he were to become Greek prime minister. “There's an issue of seriousness competence, professionalism in governance and government,” he said, adding that he envisions “a smaller and more efficient government. I want to streamline public spending. I want to cut taxes. I want to make Greece an attractive investment destination.” EU WTF moments of the week — Oettinger's car industry defense and UK omnishambles: The podcast panel ponders why German Commissioner Günther Oettinger went to the wall for a position defending the German car industry when all 27 other European Commissioners disagreed with him. And after the second British Cabinet ministerial resignation in a week, we wonder: Who's next? Dear POLITICO: The panel advises a male correspondent who complains that women in the EU institutions use their sexuality to manipulate men and advance their careers.
