00:00 Good evening, I'm Naomi Taborgson, this is PPV News Now.
00:15 After his announcement last month, UK Defense Secretary Ben Wallace came through with his
00:19 word and officially stepped down from his post earlier today.
00:23 In his resignation letter to Prime Minister Richie Sunak, Wallace 53 touted the hard work
00:29 and dedication he put in the discharge of his duties since his appointment in 2019,
00:36 saying he is proud of his contributions as a former soldier and Defense Chief/Security
00:43 Minister for keeping the country safer and the armed forces better funded and more professional.
00:50 For his part, the response letter from the 10 Downing Street hailed him for his noteworthy
00:55 service as Defense Secretary, Security Minister and Northern Ireland Minister and extended his
01:02 heartfelt gratitude and respect for his outstanding service to the country.
01:06 And then one half was left to battle it out in the next or second round after yesterday's final
