Boris Johnson May be On His Way Out as Two Of His Top Ministers ResignTwo senior ministers have resigned and there is wide speculation that conservatives will demand that Boris Johnson resign. Although Boris Johnson has been unpopular for a while -- he's been caught several times in "Partygate" violations of his own lockdown orders -- the resignations were sparked by his apparent dishonesty in the matter of Chris Pincher. Pincher had been accused of some kind of sexual impropriety, and an investigation had found the allegations to have been substantiated. Nevertheless, Johnson promoted him to the Conservative Party's deputy chief whip. When asked if he had known about the allegations against Pincher, Johnson said he had not: Downing Street had previously said Mr Johnson was not aware of any specific allegations against Mr Pincher when, in February, he appointed him deputy chief whip - a role in which he was responsible for enforcing discipline among Conservative MPs. But now it is alleged -- or admitted? It's not clear to me -- that Johnson did know. No 10 did not tell the truth when it said the PM was unaware of formal complaints about Chris Pincher's behaviour, the former top civil servant in the Foreign Office has said. Two senior cabinet officials have resigned.
Although the left is of course attacking Johnson over his "forgetting" that he had been informed of Pincher's problems, conservatives are attacking him as well. Senior Conservative MPs have asked ministers how long they can continue to tolerate government dishonesty after the Chris Pincher row. Below, a former conservative MP says it's time for the deputy PM to tell Johnson it's time to go. He says the likely reason this isn't happening is that there's no plausible conservative successor to Johnson. Note that Johnson's eviction would not mean that the left gets control of the government; the Conservatives still dominate the Parliament. The Conservatives would elect a new Conservative government, led by someone else.
The Deputy PM, Dominic Raab, remains loyal to Johnson and does not seem ready to tell him "It's time to go." He's splitting hairs over whether an investigation found Pincher "guilty" or merely "substantiated" allegations against him.
