Conservative calls on PM and Sunak, but says no sense in blaming
Tory MP Craig Whitaker has called on Boris Johnson and Chancellor Risi Sunak to resign after the couple was fined for violating coronavirus legislation. According to the Halifax Courier, the Calder Valley MP said during questions and answers on Facebook: “I not only believe that the Prime Minister should resign, but I also believe that Rishi Sunak should also resign. “Throughout this process, it was not very clear that the prime minister violated any rules until, of course, he was issued a fixed sentence notice this week. “My expectation is that he and the chancellor must do the right thing and resign. The reality is that they are not going to give up. We have seen it from the press and they have both apologized, so I suspect we will end up where we are and move on. “ Mr Whittaker said he would not submit a letter to the 1922 Backbench Tories Commission, saying he expected the prime minister to win a vote that would reduce government “day-to-day” work.
