    Commenting on two further resignations from the easyJet board, airline founder and largest shareholder Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou said:

     

    “I find the current situation very bizarre. Two more scoundrels running for the hills following the CFO’s resignation just two weeks ago.

     

    “This is a board that only 10 working days earlier was telling investors that this is not the time for regime change. It now seems to be happening anyway.

     

    “The real question in my mind is…were Gurassa and Martin pushed or did they jump?

     

    “Are they leaving easyJet because they had dealings with the dodgy Panama papers lawyer Marc Bonnant or are they tired of providing cover to those scoundrels that did? After all, resignation is typically the only remaining weapon for the honest NED.

     

    “And it needs to be remembered that chairman John Barton still refuses to answer the questions about dealings with Bonnant. He refuses to hold an independent investigation.”

Now we seem to be getting our regime change without a vote.
