More Nottinghamshire MPs have called on the Prime Minister Boris Johnson to consider his position. Gedling Conservative MP Tom Randall withdrew his support as Mr Johnson's leadership crumbles, while former minister and Newark MP Robert Jenrick also called on the PM to go.
As part of Sunak's bombshell resignation yesterday, he said: "The public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously... where I have disagreed with you privately, I have supported you publicly." "It is not a great day. We will push through this and get on with things." Asked whether the PM's position was still tenable he replied: "No".
"More fundamentally there has been a significant and I fear irretrievable loss of trust with the public, confirmed by the mishandling of serious allegations in recent days. If we continue along our present path we risk doing lasting damage to the reputation of the Conservative Party for competence and good government and, more importantly, to the standing of politics generally.
