Boris Johnson is resigning today. More than 50 members have already left the government – HNonline.sk

To date, six ministers have left the British government under the leadership of Boris Johnson, and at least six government officials have also announced their resignation today. More than 50 British MPs have already left Johnson’s broader government. According to information from the BBC and the Financial Times, this mass exodus today will finally lead to the resignation of Johnson himself from the post of leader of the conservatives, and finally also the prime minister. He would subsequently lead the country as prime minister until the fall. Both dailies say Johnson will issue a statement on the matter around lunchtime. Even yesterday, he categorically rejected the words about his possible resignation. “The role of the prime minister in difficult times when he has been given a strong mandate is to carry on and I will do that,” Johnson said in the House of Commons on Wednesday. They lost confidence in the government On Thursday, British Minister for Northern Ireland Brandon Lewis resigned from his post. Housing Secretary Michael Gove, who was sacked by Johnson after Gove called on him to resign, also did not remain in government. In total, there were already five ministers of the British government who left the government this week because of Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The British Minister of Education, Michelle Donelan, who resigned after only two days in this position, immediately joined the group of those leaving. “Decent and responsible government is based on honesty, integrity and mutual respect. It is a matter of deep personal regret that I have to leave government because I no longer believe these values ​​are upheld,” Northern Ireland Secretary Lewis said in his resignation letter. According to him, the Conservative Party has passed the point of no return and cannot win an election when it is so divided. Treasury Under Secretary Helen Whately, Home Secretary Damian Hinds, Business Under Secretary George Freeman, Labor Under Secretary Guy Opperman, Culture Under Secretary Chris Philp and Conservative MP James Cartlidge also left the government today. “It should not be necessary for dozens of colleagues to resign, but for the sake of our country and confidence in our democracy, we must have a change in leadership,” Hinds said in his resignation letter. Freeman wrote to Johnson that he no longer had confidence in his leadership. Scandals cling to his heels Johnson lost the trust of many members of his party already because of the scandal known as Partygate. The latter was sparked by reports of parties and meetings at the Prime Minister’s residence in Downing Street at a time when Britain was in a coronavirus lockdown. The most recent criticism of Johnson came after Christopher Pincher, the deputy chief whip, resigned on June 30 for allegedly sexually assaulting two men. A Whip is an MP who ensures that party members vote in the House according to party interests. Pincher was appointed by Johnson to the position in February this year. After the outbreak of this case, the Prime Minister initially claimed that he knew nothing about the Pincher investigation. Downing Street later said he had forgotten about the case and Johnson apologized for the error. 01 – Modified: 2022-07-06 04:35:37 – Feat.: 1 – Title: “Unwavering” support from the British.
