Liberal Democrat MP for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross has today called on Boris Johnson to resign following the publication of the damning Sue Gray report.

The report pictures Johnson and Sunak at Johnson’s birthday party along with other events.

It directly criticises Boris Johnson saying that “the senior leadership at the centre, both political and official, must bear responsibility for this culture.”

Responding to the news, Mr Stone said:

“The Far North has been completely taken for granted.

“While local residents made sacrifices, Number 10 partied.

“They think it’s one rule for them and another for the rest of us.

“The Sue Gray report is an insult to local people’s sacrifices during the pandemic. 

“We have all seen the pictures.

“It’s clear they think they can take the British public for fools.

“Whilst people in Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross​ were making heart-breaking sacrifices, we know Boris Johnson’s Downing Street was the scene of raucous parties and disgraceful behaviour.

“It is time Johnson did the decent thing and resigned.

“At the next election here, it will be a clear choice between Boris Johnson’s Conservative candidate and the hard-working local Liberal Democrats.

“It is time we restored decency and integrity to our politics and finally get rid of this out of touch Conservative Government.”

Responding to the Sue Gray report, Leader of the Liberal Democrats Ed Davey added:

“This report lays bare the shocking failures of leadership by Boris Johnson and shows why he’s not fit to be prime minister of our country.

“Johnson has dragged his entire government through the mud to protect his own job.

“He didn’t care while he laughed and broke the rules while the country was in lockdown.

“And he doesn’t care now when every household in Britain faces eye-watering costs at the petrol pumps, sky-rocketing food prices and massive energy bills.

“Any other prime minister would have been forced to resign by a report as damaging as this, yet still Conservative MPs defend the Prime Minister and allow him to cling on.”
