26 Conservative Party MPs have already called for Prime Minister’s resignation over ‘party gate’
Former Attorney General Jeremy Wright called for the resignation of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday over Sue Gray’s internal report on Downing Street parties amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“Boris Johnson must resign for the good of this and future governments,” the former attorney general under the government of David Cameron and Theresa May said, according to the English newspaper ‘The Times’.
Wright has added that the so-called ‘party gate’ case has caused “lasting damage” to the reputation of the ‘Tories’, although he did not specify in the statement whether he has formally filed a letter of resignation against Johnson, as he told the newspaper. The Guardian collected.
The former Attorney General is a member of the Committee on Standards in Public Life, which advises the Prime Minister on ethics within the UK government, and campaigned for the UK to remain in the European Union ahead of the EU membership referendum on 23 June. 2016.
The publication of Gray’s final report on the parties organized in Downing Street during the pandemic has cost the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, at least three loss of support within the ‘tory’ parliamentary group capable of taking him down if he reaches a certain number of signatures.
For now, 26 deputies have already publicly rejected Johnson, far from the necessary 54, according to Sky News. The last to make it onto this list on Monday was Elliot Colburn, one of the youngest Conservative MPs in parliament.
“New questions and revelations have surfaced since the completion of the Metropolitan Police investigation and the publication of the Sue Gray report,” Colburn said in an email to voters in his constituency.
“I’m particularly alarmed by the revelations about the treatment of number 10’s security and cleaning staff,” explains Colburn.
The discomfort has increased under the ‘Tory’ bench, although letters requesting Johnson to resign are not required to be made public and some delegates have been ambiguous about their position, arguing that situations such as the war in Ukraine discourage a sudden change in Downing Street.
