He called it a “political assassination”, in a blistering resignation statement in which he also appeared to take swipes at Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. “Whether you’re a Boris fan or not, it’s going to be required reading – both in Westminster and for millions across the world,” the paper said of the column which will appear on Saturdays.
