Jeremy Wright, a former culture secretary and attorney general, has become the latest Tory MP to call for Boris Johnson to resign, arguing that while he could not be sure that the prime minister had misled MPs, he was at best “negligent” in his approach to the issue.
In a lengthy statement on his personal website, the Kenilworth and Southam MP said Johnson could have been more careful before he assured the Commons that no lockdown-breaking parties had taken place inside Downing Street, and corrected the record sooner.
