The Conservative MP has asked Boris Johnson to step down because his position is unsuitable. Nigel Mills is believed to be the first governor to demand the prime minister’s resignation after he was fined for attending a birthday party for violating Covid rules.
Mr Johnson and Chancellor Rishi Sunak were both sentenced to criminal penalties for attending a cabinet meeting in June 2020. After the fines, Mr. Mills told the Palestinian Authority News Agency: “We have every right to expect .higher standards for those who make these laws.”
Asked if he thought the position of prime minister was unfounded, the MP from Wadi Amber told the Palestinian News Agency: “Yes, I think the prime minister should be fined for his position, accepted and paid for the violations he presented. … It is simply an impossible position.” “We have every right to expect the highest standards of the people who make these laws…so the idea that I can survive a law violation and admit that (this) was violated is simply, I think, impossible. “
Asked whether Parliament should be called up to make changes as quickly as possible, Mills said: “It will be nearly impossible to challenge Parliament until Tuesday, when we’re back again.” He added: “The chances of a no-confidence vote in the House of Commons are close to zero.
“So we can all send our letters to Sir Graham Brady… Frankly, I am very surprised if he resigns or if 180 of us want him released. So I think he will continue for now.”
He said he was “not convinced” by the argument that, given the crisis in Ukraine, it was not the time for a change of leadership in the UK. He said: I have two comments on this. First, when will Ukraine be better than it is now? If you tell me that this crisis will be over in three months, you can say, “Okay, let’s put an end to it (then) the Prime Minister can take his fate.”
But the crisis in Ukraine could go on for a very, very long time. Suppose there is no possibility of changing the prime minister over the years?
The second thing I would say is that elections are taking place in France – one of the three largest parts of NATO. So, if they can have an election in which the alternative candidate is someone who could (have) a radically different policy toward Ukraine than President (Emmanuel) Macron, I don’t think we would have any candidates to lead. Different policies towards the prime minister.
So there will be no doubt that we will continue to send them as many weapons as possible and they will want, and all the help we can, but we will not interfere. So I’m not sure. “
