Boris exit threatens Tory civil war – is it time for a general election?

GMB debate: Should Boris Johnson be stripped of all perks?

Boris Johnson’s dramatic exit from British politics has split the Conservative Party, threatening to spark civil war between the former prime minister’s supporters and Rishi Sunak.

A report from the Privileges Committee about Partygate found Mr Johnson misled Parliament and was “deliberately disingenuous” with his statements on lockdown gatherings in Downing Street.

The former MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip hit back saying the conclusion was “deranged” and has received support from allies such as Priti Patel and Jacob Rees-Mogg, but among the chaos there are growing calls from the Labour Party for a general election.
