U.K. Treasury chief Sajid Javid unexpectedly resigned Thursday, throwing a carefully planned shakeup of Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative government into turmoil.
The government announced that he would be replaced by Rishi Sunak, who was previously a deputy to Javid at the Treasury.Javid’s resignation follows reports he had clashed with Johnson’s powerful advisor, Dominic Cummings, a self-styled political disruptor who is mistrusted by many lawmakers and officials.
Britain’s Press Assn. news agency reported that Javid had quit after being told to fire all his aides and replace them with staff appointed by the prime minister’s office.Paul Dales, chief U.K. economist at Capital Economic, said Javid had appeared reluctant to increase public borrowing to fund higher spending.
Now his Conservative administration faces the even bigger challenge of negotiating a new trading relationship with the EU while also seeking trade deals with the United States and other countries. Johnson had intended to keep the most senior ministers in their jobs. His office said Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, Home Secretary Priti Patel, Justice Secretary Robert Buckland and Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove were all staying.
