British Labor will file a motion against Boris Johnson in confidence if the Prime Minister continues leading the Government until his successor is selected. After learning that the Prime Minister has been relieved of suspicions that he had flouted covid-19 rules, Keir Starmer of the center-left formed emphasized Friday his strategy to exert pressure on the discredit conservative leader. In a televised news conference, he stated that honesty and integrity are important.
Hours before, the Durham Police in the northeast of England announced that it would suspend an investigation into allegations of breaches of social restrictions of pandemic by large groups of politicians and Labor officials. Starmer and Angela Rayner, the deputy leader of the party, met at Durham headquarters along with Labor officers, volunteers, and other officials to discuss the case. The two men took photos of him from the street with a beer in hand. However, initially, police were not interested. In the heat of Johnson’s Downing Street scandal, the police reopened the investigations.
Starmer and Rayner both promised to resign if they were punished for the “beergate” (from the definition of beer). They have both denied breaking the law, and the Police added to this defense by concluding that it was just a work meeting. The exceptions to the current restrictions include the meeting “reasonably necessary for the handling of work matters”. It was a matter principle. Starmer said, “Those who make laws cannot break them,” and was pleased to finally remove the suspicion and risk of his exclusion from politics.
His leadership has been strengthened by his exoneration from the police. According to opinion polls, he is described as boring. These polls also show that Labor has been leading the Conservatives over Labor in recent months. Starmer insists on Johnson’s immediate departure and is confident that Starmer will be able to deal effectively with the winner of the ’tories” primaries. He was one of the “list of leadership candidate who supported the prime minster for months and even months.” He said that Johnson was “brought down by a matter concerning trust and integrity” and that Johnson’s “deplorable behavior will not change in the next two months.” Before urging Johnson to “move now” and stop “desperately holding on” to power.
The Labor objective would not be achieved by a motion of censure being made by the opposition. Conservative MPs are more likely than not to join Johnson’s political opponents in this latest fight against the president. Starmer’s threat adds pressure to the internal forces, who demand that the humiliated prime minster be removed as soon as possible.
