Labour and Lib Dems frustrated by high turnover of ministers due to leadership race and resignations
Boris Johnson’s ministers have “given up on governing”, opposition parties have charged after Priti Patel pulled out of an MPs’ questioning session with minimal notice, while a junior health minister was sent to explain a crisis in ambulance services.
Johnson’s role is now that of a caretaker prime minister, with a brief to implement existing policies but make no significant new decisions. However, there is concern that uninterest inside No 10 plus a huge turnover of ministers has created a power vacuum.
