Greens call on ‘serial liar’ Johnson to resign after party pictures emerge

23 May 2022

Green Party co-leader Carla Denyer has said the Prime Minister must finally do the right thing and resign after ITV News published pictures of him drinking at a party during lockdown [1].

Denyer said:

“It is now more clear than ever that Boris Johnson attended parties at Downing Street during lockdown, when everybody else was having to make heartbreaking sacrifices.

“Not only did the Prime Minister think it was ok to break the rules he made, he then also went on to lie about it and try to cover up his own illegal acts.

“This country can no longer be run by somebody who is a serial liar and thinks the rules don’t apply to him.

“It is time that he finally takes responsibility, does the only reasonable thing and resigns. If he refuses to, then I urge the Conservative MPs covering up for him to take matters into their own hands and force him out of the office he has completely demeaned.”
