Call for David Cameron to sack Sajid Javid for “incompetence and laziness”

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

Sajid Javid admitted he had not realised Tata’s board in Mumbai would make such a decisive announcement which came while he was on a trade trip in Australia, exposing the government to accusations it had failed to acknowledge the scale of the crisis.
David Cameron needs to get a grip of this situation as the government are in total disarray,” and we have a business secretary who says he knew about the Tata meeting and still wanted to go to Australia.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
