ishi Sunak has “lost control of the party” after a 3rd MP in 24 hours introduced their resignation from the celebration, Labour has claimed.
Boris Johnson resigned on Friday forward of the discharge of a report into whether or not he misled MPs over gatherings held in Downing Street throughout lockdown.
Key allies, Nadine Dorries and Nigel Adams, quickly joined the previous Prime Minister in stepping down sparking Labour to accuse Mr Sunak of dropping management of the celebration.
Speaking to Sky News’ Jon Craig in Uxbridge, Labour’s nationwide marketing campaign coordinator, Shabana Mahmood stated: “I think it’s clear that Rishi Sunak has lost control of his party.”
She then went on so as to add: “He is simply too weak to unite the divided Tories who are more interested in tearing lumps out of each other, causing their own PM by-election difficulties, the cost of a by-election, rather than focussing on the issues that actually matter to the voters.”
Both Ms Dorries and Mr Adams held majorities of 24,664 in mid-Bedforshire and 20,137 in Selby and Ainsty respectively.
Mr Johnson’s former Uxbridge and South Ruislip seat has a majority of seven,210, inflicting Ms Mahmood to assert Labour will goal the constituency within the subsequent election.
“We’re fighting for every vote. What we’re doing is taking our case as a Labour Party to voters,” she added. “The nation wants change. The Tories are in absolute disarray, and the Labour Party may be the change that the nation wants."
“The issue is on the Tories. This party is falling apart.”
Mr Sunak is yet to comment on the resignations of the now former MPs.
The Privileges Committee said it will meet to conclude its report on Monday and said it publish its findings “promptly”.
Although the outcome of the report remains unclear, Veteran Tory MP David Davis, who served in Theresa May’s cabinet alongside Mr Johnson, said "most MPs" thought the previous No 10 incumbent had lied.
The former Brexit Secretary instructed GB News: “The truth of the matter is, ask around Parliament, ask most of the MPs, most people are fairly sure he misled the House.
“And he did so many times and he did so knowing that these parties had occurred and he had been at some of them.
“It is hard to be at a party and not notice it is a party.”
