Douglas Ross, leader of the Scottish Tory Party, called on the Prime Minister to resign after admitting that he attended a party held in Downing Street during lockdown.
Boris Johnson stated at Prime Minister’s Questions Wednesday that he attended the event to which over 100 people were invited for approximately 25 minutes and found it to be very interesting. “work event”.
Ross is the most prominent Conservative who has called for the resignation of the Prime Minister. He claims that Johnson’s position in the country is now. “untenable”.
STV News interviewed him and he stated: “I said, yesterday, if the Prime Minister attended this gathering, event in Downing Street on May 20 2020, he could not continue as Prime Minister so, regretfully, I have to say his position is no longer tenable.”
He said: “There was one question to answer yesterday. Indeed, it was from Monday night when the invitation was sent to over 100 people asking them to come along to the Downing Street Garden and bring their own alcohol. If the Prime Minister was present, which he did today, I was unable to continue.
“What we also heard from the Prime Minister today was an apology and he said with hindsight he would have done things differently, which for me is an acceptance from the Prime Minister that it was wrong and therefore, I don’t want to be in this position, but I am in this position now, where I don’t think he can continue as leader of the Conservatives.”
