Former cabinet minister David Davis has joined calls for Boris Johnson to stand down, telling the prime minister: "In the name of God, go."
He said the PM had failed to take responsibility for his actions over lockdown parties in Downing Street. It came after backbench Tory MP Christian Wakeford defected to Labour, minutes before Prime Minister's Questions began. The PM batted away repeated calls to quit during the stormy Commons session. In a letter to Mr Johnson, Bury South MP Mr Wakeford said: "You and the Conservative Party as a whole have shown themselves incapable of offering the leadership and government this country deserves." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-60056482

Officially known as the Conservative Private Member’s Committee, "The 22” is an influential backbench of Tory MPs. The group was originally a private dining group, made up of new Tory MPs elected in the 1922 General Election – where it takes its name. The group has grown to become an important ball part of the system that Conservative MPs use to express views on party leadership, and now plays an important role in the election of a leader to the party.
If 15% of Tory MPs write to the chairman of the backbench committee – currently Graham Brady – a leadership challenge is triggered. As there are currently 360 Conservative MPs sitting in Parliament, 54 Conservative MPs would need to submit letters to the 1922 Committee to trigger an automatic leadership vote. If Boris wins the vote he can't be challenged again for a period of twelve months.

The wine parties were an offence to and a ridiculing of the public that was under lockdown and had extremely limiting rules to bear. These meetings and his participation are disgusting. His weaseling and hiding behind that "investigation" and his obvious lying to get away with it, is both disgusting and ridiculous.
He should not be allowed to just leave. He should be chased away, with a boot in his lower back and eggs and stones flying after him. Enough is enough. His time is up. That Corona coincided with Brexit, is not his fault, and we will never know if and how Brexit would have worked out without Corona. But on too many occasions he now has told opportunistic untruths. He must go.

A Conservative backbencher who accused Downing Street of trying to "blackmail" MPs seeking to oust Boris Johnson is to meet police to discuss his allegations.
William Wragg said he will be speaking to a Met Police detective in the House of Commons early next week, after requesting a meeting with the force. The MP, who wants the prime minister to quit, said he wanted to leave any probe to "experts" rather than No 10. Downing Street said it had not seen any proof of the behaviour he alleges. A spokesman said on Friday they were not investigating the allegations but would look "carefully" at any evidence presented to them. Chris Bryant, who is chairman of the Commons Committee on Standards, said he had spoken to about a dozen Tory MPs in the past few days who had made similar allegations of whips threatening to withdraw funding for their constituencies, including for campaigning and infrastructure such as bypasses and schools. "I've even heard MPs alleging that the prime minister himself has been doing this," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. He described the alleged behaviour as "misconduct in public office" and said it was a matter for the police. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-60093893

Here's an If question
What will happen with Boris, if the police find enough proof that he have tried to blackmail and/or threaten other members of the Tory party ? Markus
