London, Thanasis Gavos
His deputies have become three Boris Johnson Conservative Party who have reacted to Sue Gray’s critical report on partygate demanding the resignation of the British Prime Minister.
On Wednesday, MP Julian Sterni said that “it is in the public interest to resignMr. Johnson.
On Thursday, John Barron said Ms. Gray’s report, which attributes responsibilities to the political leadership to the culture that allowed Downing Street parties to be held amid a lockdown, “paints a pattern of indecent behaviorWhile the rest of the country followed the rules of the pandemic.
He followed David Simmondswho commented that “it is clear that while the government and our policies enjoy the trust of the public, the Prime Minister does not have that trust.”
The three newest votes from the ruling party’s parliamentary group raise the number of Conservative MPs who have publicly voted in favor of Johnson’s resignation to 18, according to the Sky News count.
It is not known, however, how many MEPs have submitted a letter of no confidence to the relevant party body, the Commission in 1922. 54 such letters are required to get a vote in the parliamentary group on the possible removal of Boris Johnson.
Meanwhile, announcements are expected at noon from the Minister of Finance, Risi Sunak, about measures to alleviate the pressure exerted on households by the rising cost of living. Political commentators note that with this move the government is trying to divert attention from the debate on the Gray report and the responsibilities of the Prime Minister.
Mr Sunak is expected to announce a package of measures totaling 10 10 billion, which will be largely covered by a one-off tax on energy companies.
This will allow 400 400 to be returned to each household from inflated energy bills.
The announcement of a further reduction of the municipal fee paid by the weakest households is possible, as well as increases in some allowances and the subsidy for heating fuel for retirees.
Energy bills have skyrocketed to 1. 1,971 a year for each household with typical energy consumption and is expected to reach 8 2,800 a year by October.
This is due to the successive increases that the competent regulator Ofgem has decided in the energy price ceiling, ie the maximum charge that can be imposed by the power companies on each kilowatt hour of gas and electricity consumed by the approximately 24 million households belonging to the basic variable billing invoices.
