(ANSA) – LONDON, 19 JAN – First defection in the Tory group, among the anti Boris Johnson rebels angry over the so-called Partygate scandal of the gatherings held Downing Street in violation of the Covid rules of 2020-2021. Congressman Christian Wakeford, newly elected in 2019 in a college near Manchester torn by the ruling party in the traditionally Labor red wall, announced his transfer of arms and baggage to the Labor group, accusing the premier of having proved “incapable of give the country the leadership it deserves “.
Wakeford was praised and welcomed with open arms by Labor leader Keir Starmer.
His exit slightly scratches the conservative majority in the British House of Commons, which has an advantage of eighty seats, while removing a pawn from the total number of rebels needed to trigger a vote of no confidence against Johnson in the Tory house. A vote that according to some rumors could reach the quorum (54 MPs out of about 360) already towards the end of this week or the beginning of the next. (HANDLE).
