British PM Boris Johnson faces confidence vote that could oust him from power
LONDON — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson faces a vote that could remove him from power on Monday after dozens of his own lawmakers wrote letters calling for his ouster.
Johnson has caused fury across the country after the revelation of a string of Covid lockdown-busting parties inside his No. 10 Downing Street residence and office over the past two years. The prime minister and dozens of others have been been fined by police for the parties — having previously tried to deny that they ever took place.
It is a remarkable situation for Johnson, less than three years after he secured a Brexit deal with the European Union, swept to victory in a 2019 election, and garnered predictions that his rule could last a decade.
But the nationwide anger has crucially divided Johnson's Conservative Party, many of whom are worried about polling that suggests the 'partygate' scandal has caused millions of voters to turn against them.
