		</div><p>Sajid Javid has dramatically quit as British Chancellor in a row with Boris Johnson over his closest aides.</p>
<p>The British Prime Minister had been expected to keep Mr Javid in post and news of his resignation shocked Westminster.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Rishi Sunak has been appointed Chancellor as Mr Javid&#8217;s replacement, Downing Street said.</p>
<p>Allies of the former chancellor said the Mr Johnson had ordered him to fire all of his senior aides if he wanted to remain at the Treasury – something Mr Javid refused to do.</p>
<figure id="attachment_149486" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-149486" style="width: 600px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-full wp-image-149486" src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/2E0485E5-4075-492E-B52B-B679CE247393.jpeg" alt="" width="600" height="955" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-149486" class="wp-caption-text">Sajid Javid had been expected to keep his job as he walked in to Number 10</figcaption></figure>
<p>The bombshell came after long-standing rumours of tensions between the ex-chancellor and Mr Johnson’s closest aide Dominic Cummings.</p>
<p>In August he had fired Mr Javid’s aide Sonia Khan and it appears Number 10 wanted to go further in keeping a closer eye on the chancellor.</p>
<p>Mr Javid said that “no self-respecting minister” could accept the condition being imposed.</p>
<p>“He has turned down the job of Chancellor of the Exchequer,” a source close to Mr Javid said.</p>
<p>“The Prime Minister said he had to fire all his special advisers and replace them with Number 10 special advisers to make it one team.</p>

<p>“The Chancellor said no self-respecting minister would accept those terms.”</p>
<p>Mr Javid had walked smiling into Number 10 in a sign that he expected to remain in place ahead of the March 11 Budget.</p>
<p>His departure came after Julian Smith was unceremoniously dumped as Northern Ireland Secretary, Andrea Leadsom was sacked as Business Secretary and Theresa Villiers lost her job as Environment Secretary.</p>
<p>Other senior ministers axed by Boris Johnson included Geoffrey Cox from his post as Attorney General and Esther McVey as housing minister.</p>
