Britain: Support for Johnson by Conservative president

The United Kingdom must avoid a “divisive leadership conflict,” the Conservative leader said as he sided with ousted Prime Minister Boris Johnson, according to Bloomberg.

Oliver Downen spoke as some Conservative lawmakers called for Johnson to resign, following a series of devastating reports of a Downing Street No. 10 party during a coronation lockdown in the country.

On Sky News, Dowden said Johnson should remain in place after making the “right call” for the country’s Covid-19 vaccine boost program, but also committed to “tackling Downing culture.” Street “.

“It’s important to deal with the kind of failures that made this happen,” Dowden told Trevor Phillips on Sunday about the happy hours and parties that took place while the UK was in a lockdown.

According to a senior Westminster source in the Sunday Times, 35 Tory MPs have written letters of distrust to Johnson. This is a small number compared to the 54 that would be needed to activate the vote for his leadership.

One Conservative who spoke out was Tim Loughton, who described Johnson’s position as “unstable” in a statement posted on Facebook on Saturday.

“Most people have expressed genuine views and have been upset, angry or terrified by the recent events of No. 10,” Loughton said. “This includes people who have been big supporters of Boris Johnson in the past as well as members of the Conservative Party.”

Another lawmaker, Tobias Ellwood, told the Telegraph that among his voters who emailed the recent reports were “many party members who said, ‘I’re just shocked by this.’

With their backs to the wall, the Times reported that Johnson is considering changing staff and also plans to announce a range of measures soon, from banning alcohol in his office to drawing up plans to help the National Health Service end years of delays. . patients.

Johnson is expected to lift most or all of Britain’s “Plan B” measures for coronavirus as of January 26, as cases fall to a one-month low and hospital admissions stabilize.

Recent polls suggest Johnson’s Conservative Party is losing support in areas that have traditionally backed Labor in northern England and in recent elections have turned to the Tories.

Nationwide, Labor now has the largest lead over Conservatives since 2013, according to an Opinium poll conducted for the Observer.
