Downing Street sources told Sky News and the BBC that Boris Johnson was “determined” to remain prime minister. At the same time, the prosecutor announces himself as a possible successor.
According to one source Sky News Describing Johnson as one of the prime minister’s allies, he will “fight” and in no time appoint replacements for many of the more than 30 in the government apparatus who have turned their backs on him in the past 24 hours.
– The source said that the prime minister realizes that he has a mandate from 14 million people and will not leave the position unless the party takes this mandate from him.
tight claws
BBC sources Among them, Culture Minister Nadine Doris, confirmed that Johnson refuses to resign.
Boris Johnson will continue to fight. Dorries believes he has enough people around him to keep it going, says Doris, who is one of the prime minister’s fewest supporters in the government.
On Tuesday, two ministers resigned from Johnson’s cabinet, Finance Minister Rishi Sunak and Health Minister Sajid Javid. On Wednesday, he was followed by more than 30 ministers of state.
potential heir
British Attorney General Suella Braverman said it was time for Prime Minister Boris Johnson to step down. She calls herself a potential heir.
Braverman was previously a staunch supporter of Johnson, but on Wednesday she said on television that Johnson had handled matters “terribly” in recent days.
– The scales are now turned that it is time for the Prime Minister – and it pains me to say it -, she said.
Braverman also said she’s happy to be a candidate if there should be a new leadership battle.
The British Attorney General acts as a legal advisor to the government. Today, the attorney general meets in the government, but he is not a member of the government. The position does not imply overall responsibility for the British legal system.
Johnson should be asked to resign
According to British media, a number of the remaining ministers on Wednesday evening tried to persuade Johnson to resign, but to no avail.
There was no official announcement from Downing Street after the Wednesday evening meeting.
Among those who have asked Johnson to resign is Housing Secretary Michael Gove, who in 2016 strongly supported Johnson’s nomination for prime minister.
Wednesday night he was fired.
Subsequently, Simon Hart, the Welsh government, resigned.
Hart said he had hoped to help Johnson “turn the ship,” but things got to a point where it was no longer possible.
trustless
I’ve always been blown away by Johnson. The revelation of the prime minister’s celebration during the pandemic, the fines he had to pay later, as well as the appointment of a party associate despite sexual harassment, have been described as what caused the trophy to overflow.
The party has recently split and the polls have not been on their side either. On Tuesday, a YouGov poll also showed for the first time that a majority of Conservative voters believe Johnson should resign. Among all respondents, 69 percent said the same.
