Is British PM Theresa May about to sack Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson?

October 9, 2017

British Prime Minister Theresa May has signalled she could sack Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.

This comes as Ms May tried to reassert her authority following a series of political disasters including an attempted coup.

There's speculation Ms May will demote Mr Johnson in a cabinet reshuffle which she needs to strengthen her administration, Reuters reports.

Mr Johnson has infuriated his Conservative colleagues by interventions on Brexit that triggered questions of leadership.

Ms May has seen her party's authority decline after she called a snap election in June which saw the Conservatives lose the majority in Parliament.
