Scottish MP Ian Blackford from the Scottish Nationalist Party commented on Wednesday night that Prime Minister Boris Johnson is stuck in office.
“If he does not get off, he must be dragged kicking and screaming out the door,” Blackford said Sky News.
– If he had any decency, some self-respect and dignity, then he would have realized that this is over.
Blackford predicts Johnson will be “dragged out next week” by his own, when the 1922 committee is expected to change a rule that allows a motion of censure against Johnson again. As he survived the no-confidence motion he received against him in early June, he is now immune.
He believes the situation that is now unfolding in British politics is “unparalleled”.
In the course of a day, 38 members of Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government have chosen to withdraw in protest.
On Wednesday night, several ministers were in the prime minister’s residence in Downing Street, where, according to British media, they would ask Johnson to resign as prime minister. Several other of his party colleagues have throughout the day called for the same.
According to Reuters, a reporter for the British TV channel ITV says that sources state that Johnson in the meeting with the ministers still refuses to resign. Johnson is also said to have said he is willing to fight a possible no-confidence motion against him, but if the majority votes in favor of the no-confidence motion, he will resign.
