Ex-attorney general adds to Tory calls for Johnson to quit

 

Bloomberg

Boris Johnson faces a drip-drip of Conservative MPs calling on him to resign, as former Attorney General Jeremy Wright said the so-called partygate scandal had done “lasting damage” to the government.
The prime minister had been hoping that with Parliament on holiday to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s 70 years on the throne, Tory rebels would be keeping relatively quiet back in their districts.
The government is also rolling out a slew of announcements it regards as popular with Conservative voters, including a plan to bring back imperial measurements. But the plan does not appear to be working. The number of Conservatives calling for a change of leadership is rising slowly but persistently.
