Boris Johnson. File photoMOSCOW, June 8Scottish National Party leader Ian Blackford called on British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to resign during his parliamentary speech, the first such call since the no-confidence vote. The broadcast was hosted by Sky News. «No illusions and denial of the obvious will save the prime minister. The situation will not change until the prime minister leaves office,» he said at a hearing where parliamentarians asked questions to the prime minister.
In Chernihiv, Boris Johnson was made a Cossack and renamed him Blackford added that «the numbers do not lie», saying that 41% of MPs from Johnson's party expressed their distrust of him, 66% of members of the House of Commons do not support him, and 97% of parliamentarians representing Scotland, do not want to see him in office. Johnson thanked Blackford for his «characteristic kind words» and said that he is «the best and most reliable defender of the United Kingdom.» “I don’t know how long he will be the leader of the party, but let him stay in office as long as possible,” Johnson said, while comparing Blackford to the epoxy glue that “holds the country together.” In addition to Blackford, many MPs have criticized British Prime Minister, blaming him for the crisis in the health care system, rising prices and other problems in the country.Britain is again waiting for the invasion of the «monster from the East»On Monday evening, representatives of the ruling Conservative Party in Britain did not get enough votes to pass a vote of no confidence in the party leader and Prime Minister Johnson. The voting was secret. 211 representatives of the party voted for the vote of confidence, 148 voted against. The advantage was 63 votes. Johnson himself, after the announcement of the voting results, called them «very good», and also promised to focus on the work of the government and solving important issues. According to media reports, 54 Conservative MPs had previously filed a letter of no confidence in Johnson. That was enough for a vote. Johnson has come under fire and threatened to lose his post over a row over parties at the government residence on Downing Street during the nationwide coronavirus lockdown. Matters were exacerbated when it was revealed that two more parties had taken place on April 16, 2021 — the eve of Prince Philip's funeral, when restrictions were still in place in the United Kingdom and national mourning was declared. Johnson later apologized and said he paid the fine issued by the Metropolitan Police.
