Boris Johnson no longer ‘worthy’ to be prime minister, says former chief whip | latikambourke
, Johnson speaking in the House of Commons apologised multiple times.
“I regret to say that we have a prime minister who broke the laws that he told the country they had to follow, hasn’t been straightforward about it and is now going to ask the decent men and women on these benches to defend what I think is indefensible,” he said. “But I do believe that it is the job of this government to get on with the priorities of the British people and that is what we’re going to do,” he said.Under Tory party rules, 54 letters are required to trigger a leadership contest but MPs can submit them without informing the public, meaning that the guardian of those letters, Sir Graham Brady —chair of the backbench 1922 committee — is the only person who truly knows how many letters have been submitted.
