The revelations of the last few days have led me to conclude that Boris Johnson is not a fit person to lead this great country. Honesty and integrity are vital in public life. We now understand that Mr Johnson was aware of specific allegations about a Member of Parliament and still chose to appoint them to senior Government roles and then could not immediately recall those allegations. Mr Johnson should do the right and decent thing and resign but if he doesn’t, I will urge the 1922 Committee to take whatever steps are needed to remove him from office. I also urge all political leaders to work together to clean up Westminster. The public deserve nothing less.
