His commentary on the show comes after at least 43 ministers and aides resigned over the prime minister’s leadership. The backlash against Mr Johnson came after the resignation of Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid on Tuesday after it was revealed that the Prime Minister was aware of a misconduct complaint against MP Chris Pincher before appointing him to a government position.
Pincher was suspended last week over allegations of sexual misconduct.
Ministers gathered in Downing Street on Wednesday after a defiant meeting with the liaison committee to tell Johnson to resign, leading to Boris Johnson firing Michael Gove in retaliation.
Speaking to Dan Wootton on GB News, Boris Johnson’s father was determined that his son would not resign.
He said: “I don’t see it at all. If he lost a general election, he would resign as prime minister, but I don’t see anything for that.”
Stanley Johnson attacked the Conservative party by ‘derailing’ the Prime Minister who achieved Brexit and fought against Covid and continues to fight for the nation.
He said: “I think the people in the party need to think very carefully tonight – do they really want to go down this road? Do they really want to force a second vote? Do they want to do that?
“I am here to praise Boris and not to bury him, but I think if you look at the facts, the achievements have been extraordinary, Brexit has been done, there has been Covid, whatever you think Covid has been done .
“There is Ukraine and for my money there is the environment, the biodiversity, the climate change. These are big problems and what are we doing?
“We’re derailing the man who led all of this for seemingly completely unimportant reasons.”
These “minor” reasons include the series of lockdown rule breaches with Partygate and breaking the ministerial code by lying to parliament and for perpetuating a dangerous Westminster culture of drinking and lewd behaviour.
Stanley added that the reasons for the deluge of resignations relate to “a lot of other rumors that are basically nonsense. Real nonsense.”
He added: “I look at the Conservative Party and I’ve been a Conservative for most of my life, and it’s tearing itself apart in a fit of madness. Complete and utter madness.”
Mr Wootton suggested it was a “Westminster witch hunt”, to which Stanley replied, “I like that phrase.
“I would have said feeding madness, I look at this and I think ‘my god’… This has been a feeding madness and the sooner they get out of it, the more likely the Tories will survive as a political party.”
The Prime Minister’s father completed his part in the news program of praising and defending his son by concluding that he will continue to “promote” the Tories and his “talented” son.

He said: “I can now promote something very serious, namely this great conservative party, and who think that by attacking this gentleman who is probably more talented than we have had in this position for a long time, by bullying him they will then find someone to replace him who will be able to do what he has done.”
Mr Johnson Sr argued that Boris would fight this sudden rebellion “to the bone” and added that he hoped the GB News segment “may be when the tide begins to return to a sense of reality.”
Stanley admitted his bias towards his son on the show and said he will always side with Boris.
He concluded: “Tonight I am still the Prime Minister’s father, even if he ceases to be Prime Minister, I will still be his father, so I will still side with him.”
