Boris Johnson needs to go

I believe that across Britain people play by the rules. They want to be in a secure job, see a prosperous future for their family and be treated with respect by their government. But instead, we have this circus of a scandal-riddled government, led by a man that sees the law as merely a suggestion. They have no answers to soaring prices and bills hurting ordinary families, they’re out of ideas for growing our economy, and they can’t even tell us the truth without a two-month-long inquiry and police investigation.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson was at a party. A party that broke the rules he set. The prime minister then lied about it. The prime minister needs to resign. It really is as simple as that.

We don’t need the Sue Gray report to know that Boris Johnson needs to go. Sue Gray will simply lay out the facts of what seems be a very clear culture of total disregard for propriety and rules in Downing Street — the culture comes only from the person in charge.

Soon we will be able to read Gray’s finding for ourselves, but we did not need to see the government so distracted in a time when they need to act. All we needed was for the man at the top of British politics to tell the truth, or for the Conservative Party to do the right thing when he refused.

Boris is going anywhere. He is stubborn, obtuse, and out of touch. He will hold on until the next elections. I highly doubt that his own party will turn on him to have a vote of no confidence.
