UK PM Boris Johnson fights for his political future as his party descends into internal warfare after he apologised for attending a party during the coronavirus lockdown
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's approval ratings have slumped since"partygate" allegations related to his breach of coronavirus restrictions in 2020 emerged last month.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is fighting for his political future as his Conservatives descended into open internal warfare after he belatedly apologised for attending a party during the coronavirus lockdown. The apparent breach of coronavirus restrictions has enraged the public, who were forced to abide by rules that prevented them from visiting sick and dying loved ones, or attending funerals.
Douglas Ross, the Conservatives' leader in Scotland, joined at least four Tory backbench MPs in calling for Johnson to quit after the prime minister admitted joining the party in his Downing Street garden in May 2020, when Britain was under a strict lockdown.Cabinet member Jacob Rees-Mogg dismissed Ross as a "lightweight" Tory figure, sparking rebukes from other MPs and warnings that the upper-crust Englishman was bolstering the case for Scottish independence.
