Local MP comments on resignation of Boris Johnson

  • Tweet
Thursday, 7 July, 2022

Borders MP, John Lamont, has commented after the Prime Minister announced his decision to resign.

Mr Lamont resigned from his government role as the parliamentary aide to the Foreign Secretary to vote against Boris Johnson over a month ago, on the 6th June.

John Lamont MP said:

“When I resigned over a month ago and voted against the Prime Minister, I was very clear that I believed he had lost the faith of the British people.

“It is welcome that many of my colleagues have now come to the same conclusion and the Prime Minister has resigned.

“He must now step down immediately and make way for a caretaker Prime Minister.

“I take no pleasure in the current situation. I want every Prime Minister to be a success, because ultimately that is what is best for our country.

“We must now move on quickly and elect a new leader. Borderers are rightfully concerned about the cost of living. I am committed to working with the new Prime Minister to resolve the most pressing issues as soon as possible.”
