Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak reject calls to resign over lockdown fines
The Prime Minister, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the PM’s wife all received fixed penalty notices for attending a birthday gathering for the PM in No 10.
As a result, Mr Johnson became the UK’s first serving prime minister to be sanctioned for breaking the law.
All three apologised, but both the PM and Mr Sunak rejected calls to resign.
Mr Johnson said he felt “an even greater sense of obligation to deliver on the priorities of the British people”, while the chancellor said he was “focused on delivering for the British people”.
Oh for the love of all that is holy, unholy and the atheist bits inbetween….
So Johnson KNOWINGLY lied to the House of Commons about the parties he absolutely 100% did not, no siree, attend, has been found guilty enough by the Police to be fined for attending those parties, and still he wouldn’t know the decent thing if it slapped him in the face with a fresh haddock.
(Up until this afternoon, knowingly lying to the House is seen as an automatic resigning offence amongst Cabinet members and MP’s, no ifs and’s or buts, you just GO!)
And the other Tories wil let him get away with it, because they have no one else to suggest as leader thanks to Sunak being embroiled in messes of his own beyond even the fine. (I mean, Michael Gove as PM? A fate possibly scarier than BoJo in charge). And they keep him on even realising that almighty harm this will do to their vote in the upcoming local council elections in May.
The sad part is that Parliament just went into recess for Easter, so there will be no Prime Minister’s Questions tomorrow, because that would be must see viewing by anyone’s definition. How… convenient.
