A Conservative Justice Minister has quit as justice minister in protest of the Partygate scandal.
David Wolfson resigned after hitting out at the “scale, context and nature” of breaches of Covid regulations in Downing Street.
In a letter to Boris Johnson, who yesterday revealed he had been fined over attending a party during lockdown, referred to the Prime Minister's “own conduct” as well as the actual events.
It came after a Tory MP said the idea that Boris Johnson can survive as Prime Minister after receiving a fixed penalty notice was “just impossible”.
Nigel Mills is thought to be the first Tory backbencher to call for Johnson to fall on his sword since the Prime Minister and the Chancellor Rishi Sunak were hit with criminal sanctions.
