Sajid Javid has resigned as Chancellor.
According to the BBC’s political editor Laura Kuenssberg, Javid has decided to quit rather than obey the PM by sacking his advisory team.

Javid was meant to be staying on despite the unhappiness between his team and Downing Street, Kuenssberg has stated.
He had been due to deliver a budget in four weeks’ time.
