Find out why the 91热爆 chairman's resignation affects you, what goes on at the 91热爆, and the government too.

It's almost surreal to turn on 91热爆 News, and see the 91热爆 reporting about the 91热爆. But that's what happened as the chairman, Richard Sharp, resigned. A report found he created the appearance of a conflict of interest by not fully disclosing his knowledge of then-PM Boris Johnson's personal finances. His position was scrutinised after it emerged he tried to secure a high-level government meeting for a businessman offering Mr Johnson financial help. Mr Sharp defended his conduct but said he did not want to be a distraction. So resigned.

For 5 Questions On, the 91热爆鈥檚 Political Correspondent David Wallace-Lockhart takes you through who Richard Sharp is, what his background was, what ultimately led to his resignation, and how it all affects you.
