British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will face a vote on the future of his leadership on Monday.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will face a vote on the future of his leadership on Monday, amid growing backlash from his colleagues over the so-called partygate scandal, a cost-of-living crisis and a controversial immigration policy.
Several high profile cabinet members, including Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, Chancellor Rishi Sunak, Health Secretary Sajid Javid and cabinet secretary Michael Gove, have already pledged their support to Johnson. Johnson’s government has been mired in scandal since January following the revelation of several private gatherings in Downing Street which attracted 126 fines from police over breached coronavirus restrictions, and a highly critical report by senior civil servant Sue Gray in which she questioned his leadership.
He said Johnson had presided over “a culture of casual law-breaking” in No.10 and that his claim to have been vindicated by the Gray report was “grotesque”.
