(伦敦6日综合电)在财长苏纳克和卫长贾维德双双辞职后,英国周三又有6部长陆续请辞,让首相约翰逊政治压力加剧。
据英媒报导,英国儿童与家庭事物部长奎因斯(Will Quince)、学校标准国务部长沃克(Robin Walker)、隶属交通部的议会私人秘书特洛特(Laura Trott)、布坎(Felicity Buchan)、狱政暨观护局局长阿特金斯(Victoria Atkins)、财政部经济事务秘书格连(John Glen)也都在周三宣布辞职。
据悉,奎因斯在推特上宣布辞职,并称他在星期一接受媒体采访并为政府辩护前,听取了不准确的信息。“让我非常悲伤和遗憾的是,我感到别无选择只能提出辞去儿童和家庭部长的职务”。

特洛特则说,“对政治的信任是最重要的,但遗憾的是,最近几个月这种信任已经丧失。”
据报道,英国保守党副党鞭平彻(Chris Pincher)上星期因涉及过度饮酒和对两名男子的猥亵行为而辞职,但约翰逊却在平彻辞职后的近24小时才决定暂停他的职务。
民调:69%认为约翰逊应下台
首相府起初否认约翰逊在2月任命平彻时,就对他先前涉及的指控有所了解。不过,一名前高级公务员星期二称,约翰逊在2019年身为外交部长时,就已被告知涉及平彻的另一起指控。
YouGov快速民调显示,69%的英国人认为约翰逊应该下台。
