The Liberal Democrats have found cross-party support for a motion of no confidence in Boris Johnson and are calling for Tory MPs to back it.
Ed Davey, Lib Dem leader, who submitted the motion said by "remaining in Number 10, Boris Johnson is a threat to the health of the nation".
The motion states that Parliament has no confidence in the Prime Minister as he has "broken the Covid lockdown laws his Government introduced, misled both Parliament and the public about it, and disastrously undermined public confidence in the midst of a pandemic".
It has so far been signed by 18 MPs from four parties, including all 13 Lib Dems, two Labour MPs - Paula Barker and Mick Whitley - two from Plaid Cymru, and Stephen Garry from the Alliance Party.The full text of the motion reads: “That this House has no confidence in the Prime Minister because he has broken the covid-19 lockdown laws his Government introduced, misled both Parliament and the public about it, and disastrously undermined public confidence in the midst of a pandemic.”Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey said: "By remaining in Number 10, Boris Johnson is a threat to the health of the nation - no-one will take anything he says seriously and that is simply unacceptable during a pandemic."Conservative MPs should not only support our motion of no confidence but they should pressure Jacob Rees-Mogg to give the motion time for a vote and soon."The country deserves a chance to move on from this deceitful Prime Minister."Ed Davey's motion is not a no confidence motion in the UK Government, which could trigger a General Election instead it is an Early Day Motion designed to voice opinions on issues of the day, without a House of Commons debate.
