British media reports that a no-confidence vote against Boris Johnson may take place next week.
In the UK, the Conservative Party may hold a vote of no confidence in Prime Minister and party leader Boris Johnson as early as Wednesday, June 8.
The Sunday Times writes about this.
< p>Sources of the publication note that 54 MPs are needed to demand a vote, either already collected or will be collected in the near future.
According to the BBC, 28 Conservative MPs have publicly called on Boris Johnson to resign.
In the event of a no-confidence vote, Johnson will remain in office until a new party leader is elected. However, experts and some members of the British government express doubts that Johnson will still be fired on Wednesday.
Other BBC interlocutors believe that if the tipping point is not reached this week, the best opportunity for the initiators resignations may come later this month, following the result of two mid-term elections initiated by MPs who left Parliament.
The reason for Johnson's resignation is the high-profile scandal with parties in the midst of the lockdown and the COVID-19 pandemic in May 2020. Johnson himself publicly apologized for this scandal, but refused to leave his post.
Note that as Prime Minister, Johnson provides Ukraine with tremendous support on all fronts. The politician was one of the first Western leaders to personally come to Ukraine, where he saw the atrocities of the Russian army, and also met with President Vladimir Zelensky.
Also on May 3, Johnson spoke online in Verkhovna Rada, becoming the first world leader to address Ukrainian deputies in this format since the start of a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. In his historic speech, he once again called the Russian attack a crime and noted that Ukraine would definitely win this war.
Britain, under the leadership of Boris Johnson, is one of the leaders in financial and military assistance to Ukraine in the war with the Russian Federation. Ukrainians, in turn, call Johnson a “great friend” of our state.
