Johnson must take responsibility for his parties and go
The Prime Minister must take responsibility for further fines handed out by police for parties held at Number 10 during lockdown and resign, the Scottish Greens have said.
Commenting, Scottish Greens health spokesperson Gillian Mackay said: “The question of whether the Prime Minister has himself received a fine yet or not is irrelevant. The fact is that at least 12 parties took place in the Prime Minister’s residence when he was telling everyone else they were not allowed due to the public health crisis. We know the police are issuing fines for this rule breaking, which Jacob Rees-Mogg may dismiss as ‘trivial’ but for the families of those who died and the millions who stayed away from loved ones during this difficult time, it is very serious indeed.
“Johnson told parliament no rules were broken at his house, but the actions of the Metropolitan Police have proved that was a lie. He must resign immediately.”
