Tory MP Andrew Bridgen has hinted that more partygate scandals will soon leak out over the coming weeks making it “impossible” for Boris Johnson to function, which is “actually stopping the government functioning.”
Bridgen has called on Johnson to resign along with other Tory MPs as well as opposition leaders.
The Tory MP has written to Sir Graham Brady the chairman of the 1922 Committee to say he has no confidence in the Prime Minister, along with many others.
Johnson has not been seen in public since PMQs on Wednesday when he apologised for attending a “bring your own booze” gathering on 20 May 2020.
Bridgen told BBC Breakfast, “The problem is that I think these revelations are going to continue to run.
“It makes it impossible for Boris Johnson to function as PM, and it is actually stopping the government functioning.”
The Tory MP added, “What is he going to do? Will he be out every Wednesday apologising for the latest revelations?
“If there is another emergency where he has to call on the country to make sacrifices, he doesn’t have that authority. That makes his position completely untenable
“I don’t need to see what Sue Gray says to see that Boris has lost the moral authority to lead the country.”
Bridgen continued, “What it looks like to me is that Boris Johnson and his inner circle can do what they want and the rest of us have to do what we are told.
“That is not acceptable to me, not acceptable to my constituents and that is not levelling up in my book.
“It’s not one isolated incident. We are seeing continued revelations coming out about what has been going on at No.10 and it is a pattern of behaviour.
“The buck stops with Boris Johnson.”
