Bookies update their odds on Boris being replaced as Prime Minister

Bookies have updated their odds on Boris Johnson being replaced as Prime Minister within the next few months following the publication of the Sue Gray report.

They have also provided an update on who is most likely to be the next Prime Minister.

A report by civil servant Sue Gray found serious failures of leadership allowed 16 parties to be held in Downing Street during lockdown.

Police are continuing to investigate 12 of those events.

Mr Johnson apologised in the House of Commons on Monday afternoon, and said he will 'fix it'.

Gambling.com spokesman Darren Hughes said: “Boris Johnson’s chances of remaining in office have improved markedly this week according to latest bookmaker odds. Last week, Johnson was 1/5 to leave office in 2022, suggesting an 84% chance of this happening. These odds have been eased to 4/7, despite the release of Sue Gray’s report earlier today.

Johnson’s alleged repeated breaches of lockdown rules have infuriated the British public, and there are strong rumours that Rishi Sunak is primed to take over should a heave against Johnson transpire. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is 13/8 to take over as the next Tory leader, with Liz Truss the second favourite at 5/1.
