Boris Johnson is under increasing pressure to resign as Prime Minister after Sajid Javid and Rishi Sunak quit yesterday. It comes just three years after he won a strong majority in the 2019 general election, gaining seats from historically Labour areas.
One of these areas included Heywood and Middleton, which voted for a Conservative MP, Chris Clarkson, for the first time in its history. However, partygate and the cost of living crisis have led for increasing calls for the PM to resign.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid stepped down yesterday afternoon over the PM's handling of the Chris Pincher scandal. Yesterday, Mr Johnson apologised for appointing the Tamworth MP to the Whips office - which oversees party discipline and MPs' well-being - despite knowing about allegations of improper conduct against Mr Pincher.
