Ranil Jayawardena has stepped aside as environment secretary.
He wrote to Rishi Sunak: “I know that you wish for a new team to join you in HM Government, so I write to stand aside.”
He added that he is “sure that HM Government will continue to deliver, and you will have my support in doing so“.
Congratulations to @RishiSunak on taking office as 🇬🇧 Prime Minister! I wish you to successfully overcome all the challenges facing British society and the whole world today. I’m ready to continue strengthening the 🇺🇦-🇬🇧 strategic partnership together!
