  • Johnson: I will not resign
    A not very enthusiastic Boris Johnson. 

On Tuesday, The Times reported that UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has told members of his cabinet that he will not resign as this may result in political instability.
 
According to the newspaper, Johnson is determined to keep his job while ministers - even from the Conservative party - have been calling on him to resign, questioning his leadership after his handling of Pincher's sex scandal. 

Britons want Boris Johnson to resign amid ministers' revolt: Poll

A record 69 percent of British citizens believe that UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson should step down in the wake of the scandal surrounding the selection of Christopher Pincher as deputy chief whip despite being aware of prior allegations of sexual misconduct against him as per a YouGov poll.

In response to the controversy, more than a dozen members of the UK government have tendered their resignations, including Finance Minister Rishi Sunak, the Solicitor General for England and Wales Alex Chalk, not to mention Health Secretary Sajid Javid.

Almost 70 percent of the British public, polled on Tuesday evening, believe that Johnson should leave his position as prime minister, while only 18 percent want him to stay in power. According to the poll, his resignation was supported by 54% of those who voted for him in the most recent election.

Only 21% of voters, on the other hand, think Johnson will step down voluntarily, while 68% believe he will stay in his position.

Nevertheless, the poll revealed that 56% of Britons, including 47% of Johnson's 2019 supporters, support Sunak's choice to resign.

Politico reported last Friday that UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson had been aware of all sexual harassment charges against Conservative MP Christopher Pincher at the time he was appointed as Deputy Chief of the Conservative Party.
