FORMER BRITISH PRIME Minister Boris Johnson has divided opinion in the UK’s newspapers this morning after his sudden resignation as an MP.
The Times: The party’s over now: Johnson quits as MP #TomorrowsPapersToday pic.twitter.com/3WEgv2p0vjThe Daily Express declares his decision to quit means there is “war in the Conservative Party” and says the government “will be stuck in zombie status”. It says the resignation announcements by Johnson and staunch ally Nadine Dorries were almost certainly co-ordinated and asks whether others will follow.
The Daily Mail says “questions have been raised” about the Privileges Committee’s independence under “ex-Blairite minister” Harriet Harman, saying the Partygate narrative against him was “fashioned out of gossamer” from “his efforts to maintain morale at No 10 during the grim night watches of the pandemic”.
“We should be in no doubt, however, that the nation has lost a transformative political genius whose like we shall not see again.”— Daily Mail U.K. June 9, 2023 Daily Mail U.K. / Twitter Not all titles are as sympathetic to Johnson, the Daily Mirror saying he “could not even resign as an MP with dignity”.
The Guardian‘s political editor Pippa Crerar says the man who won an 80-seat majority in 2019 “now has little appeal outside the ranks of the Tory faithful”.
