- Starmer says Sunak can’t stand up to disgraced ex-PM
- Johnson’s comeback hint as MPs say: ‘It’s not the end’
LABOUR leader Keir Starmer today says people have had enough of the "farce" of Tory rule and want a general election now.
He accused Rishi Sunak of losing control as the Conservatives descend into civil war following Boris Johnson’s shock resignation.
Mr Starmer said the Prime Minister wasn't strong enough to "stand up to the Tory berserkers determined to drag the country down with them".
He added: "Rishi Sunak must finally find a backbone, call an election, and let the public have their say on 13 years of Tory failure.
"This farce must stop. People have had enough."
Mr Johnson quit as an MP on Friday night, sidestepping punishment for lying to the Commons about lawbreaking lockdown parties.
But the shamed ex-PM hinted at a comeback in his resignation speech - as a string of supporters promised he would be back. Hours earlier, one of his biggest fans, former Cabinet minister Nadine Dorries, unexpectedly stepped down from her Mid Bedfordshire seat.
The idea of Mr Johnson standing in Ms Dorries' old seat is one of a number he is discussing for his future.
Yesterday another close ally, Nigel Adams, forced a third by-election by quitting his seat in Selby and Ainsty, North Yorks.
Mr Johnson had been warned in an email on Thursday that he would be carpeted by the Commons Privileges Committee's investigation into whether he misled MPs over Downing Street parties during Covid.
That meant he faced a 10-day Commons suspension, triggering a by-election.
