Boris Johnson鈥檚 ethics adviser Lord Geidt resigns, Sri Lanka faces its worst economic crisis in more than 70 years, and it鈥檚 50 years since the Watergate scandal led to President Nixon鈥檚 resignation.
Boris Johnson鈥檚 ethics adviser, Lord Geidt, has resigned after the prime minister forced him into an 'impossible and odious' position. He is the second ethics adviser to quit under Mr Johnson鈥檚 premiership.
