When Boris Johnson was teetering on the edge in 2022 having suffered the resignation of both Sajid Javid and Rishi Sunak, O'Brien quit along with four colleagues (Kemi Badenoch, Alex Burghart, Lee Rowley and Julia Lopez) in a joint resignation letter. ... In short, O'Brien has often been just ahead of Tory mainstream thinking. The fact that he has rowed in behind Jenrick rather than Badenoch – whom the rest of his Johnson resignation team are backing – is significant.
