Should Boris do the decent thing and resign?

Sorry lead the country

Yes, he should. But until more than a handful of Conservative MPs do the decent thing and stop supporting him, he won't.

She's gone, left April 21.

Yes.

Surely, after this latest debacle, there are now enough Conservative MPs who think Johnson is a complete liability, and are ready to back a vote of no confidence. They must be mortified at what he has done to the Conservative Party's reputation and be desperate to get rid of him.

I totally agree with you and as said in PMQ, how does he sleep at night knowing what the British Public gave up to protect the NHS and their loved ones, dying alone or being isolated and sick or, just people being alone...what accountability/what compassion has he shown...he must go or be removed...

It will be Rishi

I thought the title of this thread was so funny. Couldn't believe it was really serious. It's Boris he has never in his whole career done the decent thing. Don't expect him to start now!
He blustered and lied through two periods as London Mayor. Bet he reckons he's got another election in him.

Doubt if Rishi could keep the Red wall

I don't think he could even resign decently, he'd probably throw a leaving party

Johnson and decent thing cannot be put inthe same sentence

I trust many politicians. Using the "they're all the same" excuse is the reason that we're in this mess. It's completely wrong, Catch yourself on.

It is used as an excuse for having voted Tory in my opinion.

Better the devil you know? Tory MP’s are starting to defect to Reclaim and Reform.

According to the press it’s only two.

This is the man who started an affair with the woman who became wife number 3 whilst wife number 2 was undergoing cancer treatment. Decent? I don’t think so. Regarding his replacement - Dishy is probably the only Cabinet Minister relatively untainted… but he’s so tiny.

I thought blackford spoke well.
Boris just keeps blustering “get on with the job/vaccine / blah/vaccine/Labour playing politics/vaccine “

And so the scapegoating has begun.

Stratton resigns.

Breaking news Allegra Stratton crying on the news reigning from whatever the heck she does apologising for her remarks about the ‘party’

There is no need for him to resign if he hasn’t told any lies in Parliament about this matter.He says that he certainly wasn’t there at the unofficial party in Number Ten, and that he was assured that no rules were broken.Now there will be an investigation into it.Only then will the truth emerge, but he seemed confident at PMQ’s about it.
Stratton certainly should resign, for a start.

Why is she crying now - she found it all so funny a year ago?

Didn’t he say he was told that there was no party?

This is completely not relevant to the question of whether he should resign.
If sexual morals were used to determine anyone’s fitness to be an MP, Minister or PM there would likely only be about 5 in the HOC.

Yes Parsley it’s me that is using the term unofficial party.

But the guy - Simon Case - who has been given the job of 'investigating' has not confirmed that he was not at that party that followed all the rules.

It's a bit like the getaway driver stopped by the police and saying that no, they'd not been burgling the property they had been waiting outside with the engine running!

Johnson on the other hand should consider his position, having already been party to an attempt to illegally prorogue parliament, and the attempt to keep that Paterson MP in a position for which his actions have broken lobbying rules.

This cabinet has much to answer for over the past 2 years - and the ongoing attempts to throw dead cats into the debate, obfuscation and gerrymandering need to be brought to an end,
