Boris Johnson is facing calls to resign as his former chief adviser Dominic Cummings claims the prime minister knew in advance about a bring your own booze party at Downing Street during the first COVID lockdown.
Durham University Law School Dean Thom Brooks says he “strongly” doubts Mr Johnson will be able to remain in the top job for much longer.
“He’s really run out of road here – not only has he had a number of his own backbenchers put in requests for him to resign publicly, as well as many more privately, but he’s really lost the public on all this stuff,” he told Sky News Australia..
Professor Brooks said Labour is now 13 per cent ahead of the Conservatives in the polls and there is growing concern for the Tories as local elections start.
