‘Pot, kettle, black?’ Minister slammed for bringing Starmer into Johnson misleading parliament debate
The PM has flew off to India leaving his party to defend his actions over partygate.
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.
The PM has flew off to India leaving his party to defend his actions over partygate.
This is not a parody.
The PM suggested the "parkies" were powerless to act because his car had "Belgian plates".
Hopes of getting the deal done this year have also been dashed, with Downing Street saying they "don't want to sacrifice quality for speed".
The Government has tabled an amendment to defer the vote - with all Tory MPs being whipped to support it.
Liz Truss has leapt to the top of the market in the race to replace Johnson as Tory leader, now standing at a 14 per cent chance.
Johnson told Tory MPs that the Archbishop of Canterbury had been more critical of his Rwanda plan than the war in Ukraine.
The prime minister's use of the Ukraine tragedy in his Partygate apology marked a "new low", critics said.
"You apologise if you spill ice-cream. If you mislead parliament you resign," the former MP said in an interview with Andrew Marr.
