Britain’s Boris Johnson battles to stay as PM amid revolt

LONDON, 07 July 2022, (TON): Britain's Boris Johnson defied pressure from senior ministers and a mounting rebellion within his party to quit, vowing to stay on as prime minister and fight off any attempts to oust him.

39 ministers and their Tory MP aides had quit over the prior 24 hours, mostly from more junior positions outside the cabinet.

A cabinet delegation had awaited his return to Downing Street from a lengthy grilling by a parliamentary committee to tell him his time was up.

It was said “to include hard-line interior minister Priti Patel and Nadhim Zahawi, who has barely been 24 hours in his new job of finance minister.”
