Block Boris Johnson from being re-selected as leader as the Conservatives

Petition Details

Boris Johnson broke the law, and is still under investigation by a Commons committee after being accused of misleading MPs about parties held in Downing Street during lockdown. He resigned in disgrace just 6 weeks ago, after 57 ministers resigned from his cabinet. He cannot be allowed to lead again.

Additional Information

Johnson told MPs in December 2021 that “all guidance was followed completely in No 10”, six months before Scotland Yard issued more than 100 fines, including to the then prime minister personally, for law-breaking Covid parties. If the Commons committee finds him guilty of misleading Parliament, he will be expected to resign, causing more chaos and another undemocratic process by the Conservatives to remain in power. This cannot happen.
