‘In the name of God, go,’ says David Davis, as one Tory MP defects and others clamour for concessions from PM
Boris Johnson faced a defection and a demand to quit from one of his most senior MPs during a dramatic day in Westminster, with even allies of the prime minister warning the current situation cannot go on.
David Davis caused shockwaves when he told Johnson in the Commons: “In the name of God, go.” Less than an hour earlier, Christian Wakeford, MP for Bury South, quit the Conservatives and joined Labour in fury at the Downing Street parties scandal.
