Brendan Clarke-Smith was torched for making light of the Partygate saga.
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson is a British politician and writer serving as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party since July 2019. He was Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs 2016-2018 and Mayor of London 2008-2016. Johnson has been Member of Parliament (MP) for Uxbridge and South Ruislip since 2015 and was previously MP for Henley from 2001 to 2008. He has been described as adhering to the ideology of one-nation and national conservatism.

Deputy party leader Angela Rayner accused the Prime Minister of acting like a “tinpot despot."
Johnson has been accused of watering down the rules for ministers after it was made clear they will not automatically lose their jobs if they breach the Ministerial Code.
"This is the sleepwalking I was talking about," Black tweeted.
“To say we just need to ‘move on’ is to treat with contempt and disregard the sacrifices of … our entire country."
The prime minister said his situation is "different" to the chancellors.
It comes as four Tory MPs went public with resignation demands since the Sue Gray report, with one saying he "cannot and will not defend the indefensible”.
