Boris Johnson's future: Tory MPs stepping back from challenge - minister

However, some Conservatives have told the BBC the mood has changed, following the defection of Mr Wakeford.

"And I think there is a real sense of stepping back and realising that the right thing to do is to wait for Sue Gray's report to then question the prime minister, as he's quite properly said he will come to the House of Commons and make a statement and answer for it." And businessman John Caudwell - who donated £500,000 to the Conservatives ahead of the last election said he would like to see Mr Johnson stay on, but added he "either needs to go or everybody needs to get behind him and drive the policies forward that we elected him for".

Fair do's your journalism is utter bunk! You don't hold the government to account. Every time I watch you allow them to spin their own excuses with psychological word play. They always get the last word. I really despair. This government is bad for you too! RiseUp

Spineless the lot of them.

Spineless. And completely predictable.

Did BorisJohnson just throw the country under the bus to save his job? savethebigdog PartyGate

I do wonder how much of this potential 'stepping back' is about the politicians pulling together rather than just doing the right thing. Regardless of what the report says this leaves a very bad taste in the mouths of the British public. If this govt survives this mockery....

This is the chance Labour Party is waiting for. Boris a a jolly good fellow. Brexit is not a simple matter and he was able to wriggle through the blockage /challenges while May could not. At the early stage, Covid was damn mysterious .Boris and his colleagues did overlook it

Says the BBC 😂😂😂

Those who voted for him knew he was a bellend *before* all of this... Didn't they?

Must be so dissapointing for bbc.

When you send out the northern Ireland minister to defend you things aren't going well

Coffin. Nail.
