Calls for Johnson and Sunak to resign
Following confirmation that Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak will face fines over breaking UK lockdown laws, a scandal come to be known as ‘partygate’, speculation surfaced about the likelihood of the Prime Minister’s resignation.
Ministers, the public and media outlets showed increased division over the findings that 12 events took place at Downing Street in the midst of the most severe social distancing and lockdown laws implemented in the UK between May 2020 and April 2021.
The spread of headlines have focused on opinions of other Ministers, unverifiable claims or public polling.
