British Pound sustained its decline against the United States Dollar and other global counterparts on Wednesday after five additional British lawmakers resigned their positions in protest against a series of scandals rocking the House of Commons in recent weeks.

A total of 44 British lawmakers have resigned under Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s leadership, accusing the Prime Minister of engaging in or condoning actions that put parliament moral in question.

Against the American Dollar, Great Britain Pounds (GBP) dropped from 1.2164 it peaked on Monday to 1.1934 in the early hours of Thursday.

While against the Japanese Yen, one of the world’s safe-haven currencies, GBP exchanged at 162.02, down from 165.26 it traded on Tuesday.

The decline was broad-based as the embattled GBP also lost some ground against the Swiss Franc to exchange at 1.1568, down from about 1.1687 on Tuesday.

On Wednesday,  five lawmakers signed in one go. In their letter, they said “It has become increasingly clear that the Government cannot function given the issues that have come to light and the way in which they have been handled,” they wrote.

Selaine Saxby, Claire Coutinho and David Johnston were the latest lawmakers to tender their resignation on Wednesday.

British Pound lost its early gains against the United States Dollar after Prime Minister Boris Johnson resigned on Thursday.

The pound had earlier rose to 1.2023 against the United States Dollar before shedding part of those gains to 1.1967 shortly after Prime Minister announced his resignation.

Boris Johnson has been under heavy pressure from his own party to resign for involving in what most termed as too many scandals.

To force the prime minister out of office, 44 lawmakers resigned this week, saying the minister had put all lawmakers moral under scruitining and in question.

“Treading a tightrope between loyalty and integrity has become impossible in recent months,” said Savid Javid, the United Kingdom’s former health secretary, in his resignation speech Wednesday in the House of Commons. “Now this week, again, we have reason to question the truth and integrity of what we’ve all been told. And at some point, we have to conclude that enough is enough.”

Speaking on his resignation, Johnson said he will remain in office until his party, Conservative Party, chooses a new leader, who will then take over.

“Of course, it is painful to not to be able to see through so many ideas and projects,” Johnson said in front of the door of No. 10 Downing St. in London, as loud crowds could be heard nearby. “But as we have seen at Westminster, the herd instinct is powerful and when the herd moves, it moves.”
