Woking’s Conservative MP cannot hide behind lame excuses any longer

Local Lib Dem Will Forster calls on Jonathan Lord to sack Boris Johnson

Leader of the Lib Dems Ed Davey says "It's time Tory MPs did their patriotic duty"

Responding to Sue Gray's update on parties being held in Downing Street during covid lockdowns, Lib Dem Spokesperson for Woking, Councillor Will Forster, said:

"This is a damning moment for Boris Johnson. The Conservative MP for Woking cannot hide behind lame excuses any longer. We all know whilst people in Woking made terrible sacrifices during covid lockdowns, Boris Johnson and his team were partying in Downing Street."

"We all have painful memories of that lockdown, from not being able to see dying relatives, to being separated for months on end from our friends and family."

"It is time for Jonathan Lord to sack Boris Johnson. No more ifs or buts."

"It is an insult to everyone in our area to see Woking's Tory MP refusing to sack a Prime Minister who broke the law and lied about it."

Leader of the Lib Dems Ed Davey MP added:

"Everyone knows Boris Johnson broke the rules and lied to the country. It's time Conservative MPs did their patriotic duty, listened to their constituents and stood up for decency by sacking Boris Johnson. He must go before he does our country any more harm."
