On Tuesday, Sajid Javid, UK secretary of state for health and social care, and Rishi Sunak, UK treasury chief, resigned from the cabinet.
Earlier in the year, Johnson appointed Pincher — who has now resigned over claims that he groped two men at a private members’ club — as the deputy chief whip, despite the allegations.
Although Johnson had apologised for backing Pincher, he vowed to fight on.
“The job of a prime minister in difficult circumstances, when he has been handed a colossal mandate, is to keep going, and that’s what I’m going to do,” he had said.
Several UK cabinet ministers reportedly gathered on Wednesday at the office of prime minister to ask him to resign.
The delegation included Grant Shapps, transport secretary; Simon Hart, Welsh secretary; Brandon Lewis, Northern Ireland secretary; and Chris Heaton-Harris,
Nadhim Zahawi, the new chancellor who replaced Rishi Sunak, was also believed to be in the delegation.
