Keir Starmer: Boris Johnson 'Has To Go'

U.K. Labour Party leader Keir Starmer has renewed his calls Saturday for Prime Minister Boris Johnson to resign, as the scandal regarding parties held in government buildings during a COVID-19 lockdown continues.

Speaking at a Fabian Society conference in London, Starmer poured scorn on the statements Johnson had given regarding his knowledge of the parties and stressed that his actions have undermined the confidence of the country in the government.

"He's now saying back in 2020, he found out after twenty five minutes it was a party and he should have got everybody in. And I think that has hugely undermined, you know, his moral authority to lead," Starmer said.

The opposition party leader also felt there was a link between the behaviour of Johnson and the government and a possible surge of mental health cases in the UK.

Johnson's office apologized to the royal family on Friday for holding staff parties in Downing Street on the eve of Prince Philip's funeral last year - the latest in a catalogue of alleged lockdown-breaching gatherings that are threatening to topple the British prime minister.

Max Hastings, who used to be his boss, said his pet Labrador was more qualified to run the country than Boris Johnson.

The guy is sick & cruel and in essence, morally inept in the head!!! Canvassing everyone of his fellow students in partitioning on getting the late Nelson Mandela hanged whilst Mandela was in prison at the midst's of the apartheid! Honestly Boris is the kind of guy that would run away with a poor homeless individual's sleeping bag before throwing it into the Thames in order to satisfy his own disturbingly troubled kicks in the form of his unique version of humour! Forget throwing plant pots through a shop window after getting a chase from the cops and lewd hellfire rituals with a pig aspart of his Bullingdon club initiation nights!
