London, January 26 (RHC)-- Britain’s main opposition leader, Keir Starmer, has called on Prime Minister Boris Johnson to resign after new revelations confirmed that a party was held for him in his office during the COVID-19 lockdown.

In a twitter post on Tuesday, Starmer blasted the premier as “national distraction,” saying millions of people were “struggling to pay the bills”, while Johnson and his government were “spending the whole time mopping up their own rule-breaking, sleaze and deceit.”   "He’s got to go,” the Labor Party leader said, calling for Johnson’s immediate resignation.   

In remarks cited by Skynews on Tuesday, Starmer said the country “cannot afford to go on with this chaotic, rudderless government.”  “Any prime minister who misleads parliament should resign,” he stressed.

He also shared his article on Twitter, published in Huffington Post, saying “people across the country are facing rising costs but Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak (Chancellor of the Exchequer) are nowhere to be seen.”  

He said people across the country are facing rising costs but Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak are nowhere to be seen -- adding: "My message to the Government is simple:  End the dither and delay."

“At a time when the government should be leading the charge against the pressures people face, they are hopelessly distracted by scandal of their own making and Westminster parlour games,” the article reads.

“But while the Tories spend their time insulting the British people’s intelligence with ridiculous denials and defences of their behaviour, Labour is coming up with serious plans for the serious problems facing the country.”  The UK premier’s office has confirmed the rule-breaching party took place in his presence.
