Boris Johnson survived the no-confidence motion – news Urix – Foreign news and documentaries

On Monday, it became clear that a motion of censure was being directed against Boris Johnson as party leader for the Conservative Party in Britain. Now the result has come. The Conservatives still have confidence in the Prime Minister. He will thus continue as Prime Minister and party leader. – I think it is a convincing result. “I am grateful for the support I have received from my colleagues,” Johnson told the BBC. He tells the channel that they have now been given the opportunity to put this behind them. – We can focus on what society wants us to do, with the cost of living, make the UK safer and strengthen the economy, he says. The no-confidence motion did not achieve the required majority. 211 of the party’s MPs voted for Johnson, while 148 voted against. Johnson needed support from 180 to stay seated. The vote was held tonight, between 19 and 21 Norwegian time. The result was announced by the chairman of the 1922 Committee, Sir Graham Brady.

Every single Conservative MP voted, writes the BBC. This result is lower than the 63 percent that former Prime Minister Theresa May received during her no-confidence motion in 2018. Then there were 117 votes against May, and 200 for. Less than a year later, she resigned as prime minister. DISAPPOINTED: Labor leader Keir Starmer thinks Boris Johnson is completely unsuitable for the big office he holds Photo: Simon Dawson Johnson thinks he is unsuitable Labor leader Sir Keir Starmer is ruthless in his criticism after the vote. “Tonight, the Conservative Party had a decision to make, to show some backbone or to support Boris Johnson,” he said at a press conference. He says that the British people are tired of a prime minister who promises a lot, but who never keeps his promises. – The Prime Minister is completely unsuitable for the large office he holds. The Conservatives believe the British government has no right to expect honest politicians, he adds. Why is it being voted on? The background is the criticism Johnson has received for his participation in the so-called “partygate” scandal. Former Secretary of Health Steve Brine recently filed a motion of no confidence in the Prime Minister. Several have joined in and sent their statements to the Conservative parliamentary group, the 1922 committee. The motion of censure was announced by the chairman of the 1922 Committee, Sir Graham Brady. Photo: NIKLAS HALLE’N / AFP The chairman of the committee, Sir Graham Brady, was able to announce today that he has received letters of no confidence from at least 15 percent of the committee. 15 percent – 54 parliamentarians – is what is needed to get a vote on confidence in Johnson as party leader. On Monday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson received a no-confidence motion against him from his party colleagues. The vote will take place on Monday evening. What happens next? When there is now a majority to keep Boris Johnson as party leader, everything continues as before. According to party rules, he can then not be exposed to a new no-confidence motion next year. But it has been suggested that the party may change this rule, writes NTB. There is no clear rival who is ready to take the party further in another direction, says political scientist and researcher Øivind Bratberg. Should there be a replacement, he thinks the party will emphasize getting a morally straight-backed leader. – One who is competent and serious, and who you can trust that no new scandals will follow. I think that type of candidacy will stand strong. The parties at the Prime Minister’s residence Employees in Downing Street are said to have regularly had a Friday drink or two in the office throughout the pandemic. Employees are said to have switched from carrying a trolley case of wine to the office for the occasion. The corona ravaged the UK. In the garden of the Prime Minister’s residence, Prime Minister Boris Johnson, his wife Carrie, former chief adviser Dominic Cummings and Johnson’s private secretary Martin Reynolds were gathered. They are pictured in a photo leaked to The Guardian, along with 15 others, eating cheese and drinking wine. Johnson has called it a working meeting.

Guests were encouraged to bring their own drink, “bring your own booze”. In retrospect, Johnson has said that he was present for 25 minutes, and that he should not let the gathering take place.

That same evening, family and friends gathered in the prime minister’s couple’s residence to celebrate Johnson. A spokesperson said that the day gathering lasted for ten minutes, while the evening celebration took place outdoors.

That same evening, it is claimed that Carrie Johnson, who at the time was engaged to the Prime Minister, held another private party in the couple’s private home. A spokesman has called the allegation “just nonsense”. Photo: No 10 Downing Street / Reuters After a working meeting in the Ministry of Finance, drinks were on the agenda. The event is described as spontaneous. At the time, pubs were closed in London due to coronary restrictions. Once again, a Downing Street employee is due to leave. Once again, the Prime Minister’s staff must resign. Boris Johnson is said to have given a speech, and fully noted it was in the room. The UK Department of Education is hosting a party. Former Minister of Education Gavin Williamson, among others, is said to have participated.

Bailey has since apologized, acknowledging poor judgment. Quizzes are held in the Prime Minister’s Office, and Prime Minister Johnson is a participant. In a photo The Daily Mirror has obtained, he is sitting with colleagues with Christmas decorations. Other colleagues sit in other offices, and have virtual quizzes together. Downing Street admitted that Johnson “briefly” participated in the quiz, but says it was a virtual event. Photo: Skjermbilde / The Daily Mirror Employees in the Ministry of Transport had a party with dancing and drinks after work on the same day as London introduced strict measures due to coronary heart disease. The ministry has apologized for the incident. Invitations have been sent out by the secretary to Cabinet Secretary Simon Case. In the digital calendars, the event was marked as a “Christmas party”. There will also be another farewell party this evening, for Kate Josephs. She previously led the government’s work on the corona. In the photo, Boris Johnson is on a jog, pursued by journalists who want to talk about the festivities of the corona era.

The big drum is played and another Christmas party is invited for the Prime Minister’s employees. It was this party that triggered the investigations. A much talked about video shows Boris Johnson’s spokesperson Angela Stratton, who jokes about the incident in a quasi-press conference. When this video is leaked, Stratton quits his job. Two employees will be leaving Downing Street. Two parties are arranged with 30 participants each, which are later merged. There must have been both alcohol and dancing at the party participants, but the Prime Minister was not present. The next day there was a funeral for Britain’s Prince Philip. Due to the restrictions, Queen Elizabeth had to sit alone during the funeral. Downing Street has since apologized to the Queen. Photo: Jonathan Brady / AP
