Britain`s finance and health ministers resigned on Tuesday, in what looked to be a final blow for Prime Minister Boris Johnson who had tried to apologise for the latest scandal involving a sexual misconduct complaint over one of his ministers. Health Secretary Sajid Javid announced his resignation in a statement, saying he could "no longer continue in good conscience."
