Nadhim Zahavi, just appointed finance minister yesterday, and Home Secretary Priti Patel are believed to be part of a group calling for the resignation of the British prime minister.
At least 38 ministers and aides have stepped down since Sajid Javid and Rishi Sunak announced their resignations yesterday.
Conservative Party parliamentary committees will not change the rules to allow another vote of confidence in Johnson, though next week’s election could change that.
We are talking about the position of Boris Johnson in the face of a sex scandal involving Chris Pincher, the former deputy head of the Conservative Party parliamentary bench.
Pincher is accused of groping two men during a night of drinking at a private club in the British capital. “I drank too much and disgraced myself,” the MP wrote in a letter in which he resigns as Deputy Head of the Conservative Bench, in which he makes no mention of the alleged sexual assault.
The Prime Minister’s Office hinted that Boris Johnson is pleased with the MP’s resignation and does not expect an investigation to open, calling the case closed, but several Conservative MPs and the Labor opposition are demanding that Pincher be investigated by police for sexual crimes.
However, the deputy was removed from office and cannot enter parliament.
Sajid Javid was embroiled in controversy after he later admitted that for six years he maintained his status as a banker, which allowed him to legally avoid taxes on foreign income.
