Scottish Tory leader withdraws call for Boris Johnson to resign over Partygate

The Independent says The Partygate threat to Boris Johnson’s position has receded after Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross withdraw his demand for the prime minister to resign.

The Moray MP was the highest-ranking Conservative to call for Mr Johnson to go after a spate of allegations of lockdown-breaching parties at 10 Downing Street during the Covid-19 pandemic.

He was branded a “lightweight” by Johnson loyalist Jacob Rees-Mogg, but won the backing of his group of MSPs at Holyrood.

But he today said that the international crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is “not the time to be discussing resignations”.
