Statement on Boris Johnson Birthday Party and Police Investigation

25 January 2022

Party after party. Excuse after excuse. The outrages continue to pile up and therefore it is only a matter of time before the Prime Minister runs out of road. The Met Police investigation is the first step towards justice for millions who have felt so much pain as a result of Boris Johnson’s behaviour. They deserve justice. Boris Johnson is not above the law.

Boris Johnson has dishonoured the position of Prime Minister and trashed the most basic human values. People died alone. People gave birth alone. Funerals were held on Zoom. Now party after party has come to light.

The Prime Minister is the subject of a live police investigation. I cannot see how he can simultaneously attempt to lead the country through Covid. He has shattered public confidence and embarrassed the country.

Boris Johnson must resign and voters must and will remember this at the next election.

The party is well and truly over.
