UK: Senior Conservatives Call On The Prime Minister To Resign Following The Party's Apology

Boris Johnson is facing calls from prominent Conservatives to resign as Prime Minister after admitting to attending a drinks party when the country was under lockdown.

The Prime Minister expressed regret for how he handled the 2020 event in the Downing Street garden, saying he understood the public's "anger."

Cabinet ministers rallied around Mr Johnson, including Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab.

Douglas Ross, the Scottish Tory leader, and MPs William Wragg, Caroline Nokes, and Roger Gale all urged him to go.

He said he would write to the 1922 Committee, which organizes Tory leadership elections, to express his dissatisfaction with the Prime Minister.

"He is the prime minister, his government established these rules, and he must be held accountable for his conduct," he said.

If 54 Conservative backbenchers write to the 1922 committee, a leadership challenge will be launched.

Ministers have advised MPs to wait for the results of a probe into alleged Covid-rule violations at Downing Street events, which will be disclosed soon, according to senior civil servant Sue Gray.
