Prime Minister Christopher Pincher resigned after writing a letter to the Prime Minister to apologize for his drunken and embarrassing feelings.
The Deputy Leader’s resignation to Boris Johnson on Thursday said:
“I confused myself and others. That’s the last thing I want to do, and for that I apologize to you and the people involved.
“I think the right thing to do in this situation is to resign Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Whip. I have an obligation to you and the people I upset to do this.
“I want to assure you that you will continue my full support from the back bench, and that you do your best when you deal with the aftershocks of Covid and the challenges of international inflation. hoping.
“It is an honor in my life to serve His Majesty’s Government.”
There is his resignation a few days after Oliver Douden resigned as co-chair of the party after being defeated in the by-elections of Wakefield, Tiberton and Honiton. In short, the prime minister currently has two roles.
Labor Deputy Leader Angela Rayner said Pincher’s resignation indicated that the conservatives were “cowardly.”
“This latest episode shows how Boris Johnson’s watches have lowered the standard of public life,” she said in a statement.
“Boris Johnson answers serious questions about why Chris Pincher was given this role in the first place and how he remains a Conservative member.
“The Conservatives are so focused on threes and scandals that they cannot fully address the challenges facing the British people.
“Conservative MPs who continue to support the prime minister’s paralyzed government need to grow their backbone and signal him the end of the party.”
Pincher, who has been a Tamworth MP since 2010, reportedly groped for two men on Wednesday night.
He was at the Carlton Club, a private Tory club in Piccadilly, when he was allegedly attacked by two fellow guests.
The allegations took place just months after Neil Parish admitted to watching pornography in the Commons and then resigned from Tiverton and Honiton in Devon, after which the by-elections were won by the Southwestern Liberal Democratic Party.
The Liberal Democratic Party has overturned the largest majority in the history of by-elections and won the local Devon seat, which has voted for the Conservative Party since it was formed in 1997.
In Westminster, Mr. Pincher may also have to resign, and the government could face a potentially tricky by-election in a seat that returned to the Labor majority between 1997 and 2010. There is speculation that there is.
In the 2019 general election, Pincher won 66.3% of the votes in the West Midlands constituency.
He has held a seat since 2010, but in 2017 Pincher left the Whips office and was alleged to have made an unwanted pass in Alex Story, a former Olympic rower and conservative activist. I introduced it to the police.
Just hours before Thursday’s resignation was revealed, Pincher posted a video on Twitter discussing the rebuilding of the George Brian Center in Tamworth after the fire.
He said the local NHS Trust has decided to close the center and centralize all mental services at St. George’s Hospital in Stafford.
“It’s really very disappointing,” he said.
