The Prime Minister reportedly suggested the move after the leak of a letter from the Chancellor calling for the easing of travel restrictions ahead of the relaxations announced on WednesdayPrime Minister Boris Johnson reportedly threatened to demote Rishi Sunak from Chancellor to Health Secretary in row of the relaxation of holiday rules. The PM is claimed to have suggested the move after the leak of a letter from the Chancellor calling for the easing of travel restrictions ahead of the relaxations announced on Wednesday. Rishi Sunak was warning that the restrictions were damaging the economy and leaving the UK at a disadvantage to its European Union rivals. "In an open meeting, after ranting about Rishi, he then suggested the Chancellor could be demoted in the next reshuffle." Rules for France have also changed meaning you won't need to self-isolate back in the UK, again provided you're fully jabbed.
