LONDON: Britain's finance minister Philip Hammond said on Sunday that he would resign on Wednesday before his expected sacking by the favourite to become Britain's next prime minister, Boris Johnson.
Johnson is widely expected to win the governing, centre-right Conservative Party's leadership contest on Tuesday and be named prime minister once Theresa May resigns the premiership on Wednesday. But the fact that the second-most senior figure in the government is making a point of resigning rather than wait to be moved on in the incoming prime minister's reshuffle is a significant gesture - and an indicator of the opposition Johnson could face in pursuing his Brexit strategy.
