Boris Johnson has become “a dangerous distraction at home and a running joke on the international stage” as he awaits a police investigation into breaches of lockdown laws he set himself.
SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford MP renewed his attack on the defiant Tory leader at Prime Minister’s Questions by describing him as an embarrassment on the world stage.
While asking Johnson to give an account of where he was on the dates of so-called “prosecco parties” at Downing Street the SNP leader said the country faced “the ridiculous scenario of a Prime Minister that can’t even tell us where he was.”
It comes after media reports that the Prime Minister was seen heading up to his Downing Street flat on the night it hosted a gathering being investigated by the Met.
Blackford said: “He lives in a world what he thinks everything is owed to him. And he never pauses to think. But he owes to the public."
“The Prime Minister is no a dangerous distraction at home and a running joke on the international stage.”
Referring to Tobias Ellwood MP, the latest senior Tory MP to express no confidence in Johnson, the SNP leader asked the Commons: “What does it tell the Prime Minister and the public that in the morning that he has returned from Ukraine The chairman of the Defence Select Committee has submitted a letter of no confidence in him.
Johnson insisted he was getting on with job of governing, adding: “That is what we are doing”
