Despite a series of lockdown-breaking gatherings at his Downing Street office and residence, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday he will not resign. In Downing Street office and residence, Boris Johnson had organized a series of rule-breaking events
Keir Starmer, leader of the opposition Labour Party, accused Johnson in parliament of misrepresenting the gatherings and misleading parliament, an offence for which the prime minister accepted a resignation should result.
When asked whether he would step down, Johnson replied, “No.”
While I understand there are many reasons why people may want me to step aside, I believe the real reason he (Starmer) wants me to step aside is because he knows that this government can be trusted, Conservative lawmakers cheered as he said this.
In particular, I am getting on with the job. “We made the tough decisions, we made the big decisions right, and now we’re moving forward.”
