A vote of no confidence in Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s leadership is “inevitable,” a senior British Conservative lawmaker has said as the political crisis over the “partygate” scandal deepens further.

Johnson is facing calls to resign, from both opposition parties and his own MPs, following a series of damaging allegations of parties and other gatherings held in his official residence at Number 10 Downing Street and other government departments in Whitehall at the height of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic, in violation of lockdown rules written by the government.
