LONDON (Reuters – On Thursday, two British lawmakers with the Conservative Party pulled support from Prime Minister Boris Johnson after a report revealed a string of lockdown-breaking events at Johnson’s 10 Downing Street offices.

The report, which described a drunken culture at Downing Street in the COVID-19 lockdowns of 1999, was published a day later. Conservative legislators John Baron, and David Simmonds declared that they would no longer be supporting the prime minister.

These voices join the growing chorus of Conservative lawmakers calling on Johnson to resign due to what’s been called “partygate”, despite repeated apologizes from Johnson.

Baron was first elected to office in 2001. He stated that he had withdrew his support for Johnson because he thought Johnson “knowingly” misled Parliament — an accusation Johnson denies, but which is currently being investigated by a committee of parliamentarians.

“Given the extent of rule-breaking at No. 10 I can’t accept the fact that the prime minister wasn’t aware. His repeated assurances that there were no rule-breaking in parliament are simply untrue,” he declared in a statement.

“Having said that I would review all evidence available before making a decision, the prime minister is losing my support. I cannot give him the benefit-of-the doubt.

Simmonds was elected to office in 2019. He said Johnson lost public confidence. In a statement, Simmonds stated that it was time for Johnson to quit so that the new government leadership could continue the good work.

Since the steady stream of media reports about lockdown-breaking groups, more than 15 Conservative legislators have called on Johnson to resign. Johnson, however, has declined to quit and said that he still had work in the government.

54 Conservative members of parliament need to write letters asking for a confidence vote against Johnson’s leadership.

These letters are secret, and the chairman only knows the number of submitted.
