Tobias Ellwood, chairman of the Communities Defense Committee, warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin could “exploit” the image of the prime minister as a law-breaker following warnings of fixed sanctions on No. 10 parties. “I think the prime minister has made clear his intentions – he wants to stay – but that’s bigger than the prime minister,” Elwood, a Bournemouth MP, told BBC Radio 4 today. He said that since the scandal was in danger of damaging the party’s reputation, Johnson owes the parliamentary party a vote of confidence. He added that the Partygate scandal had undermined the image of the United Kingdom as a “beacon of democracy” by eroding the high standards that politicians have historically set and upheld. He warned that “this is something that Putin will no doubt take advantage of – how can a lawmaker be a lawbreaker?” That’s not a good look. “ Elwood said he believed Johnson should step down now, as the war in Ukraine is likely to continue for some time, adding that it was unprecedented to replace leaders in times of crisis, citing the replacement of the head of the United States armed forces. Basil in December with an admiral with no combat experience. He said: “Every month, every year, European security will deteriorate far beyond Ukraine. “Our terrible government mechanism, our well-oiled Ministry [Ministry of Defence] machine, allows us to do just that – replace people if needed. “Our approach to Ukraine will remain consistent, so I hope we will not use the war as a fig leaf to avoid these tough questions that we must address.” The leader of the Scottish National Party in Westminster, Ian Blackford, has said that Johnson’s position is no longer supportive. He told BBC Radio 4 today: “I believe that the court of public opinion will issue this decision for the prime minister. “Everyone knows there was a party on Downing Street 10, everyone knows the prime minister has been convicted. “We can talk about a parliamentary process and the fact that he violated the ministerial code as a consequence of his behavior. But the fundamental point here is that we have the first prime minister in history to be found guilty of breaking the law. “The prime minister is there to obey the law first and foremost.” It comes after conservative peer David Wolfson resigned as Justice Minister on Wednesday following reports that Johnson and Ricky Sunak had been sentenced to life in prison for violating their own Covid lawsuits. the Prime Minister’s birthday at No. 10.. Wolfson said he was resigning not only because of the prime minister’s own conduct but also as a formal response to what had happened. He said the behavior was in stark contrast to many in society who “complied with the rules at great personal cost and others were fined or prosecuted for similar, and sometimes obviously more trivial, offenses.”
