Boris Johnson’s job safe despite ‘partygate,’ UK’s Truss says

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s embattled position was reinforced by Foreign Secretary Liz Truss amid a scandal over alleged pandemic-rule-breaking parties, as she batted away speculation that she could run for the leadership.
“The future of the PM is assured,” Truss said on the BBC’s Sunday Morning show. “He’s doing an excellent job on the things that matter — recovering the economy from Covid, getting Brexit done, getting this country going again.”
Asked if Johnson should resign if he is found to have broken the country’s ministerial code, which prohibits lying to the House of Commons, she said she wouldn’t answer “hypothetical questions.”
