The country and the Conservative Party deserve a clean break from Boris Johnson

iNews

In the wake of Boris Johnson’s resignation, Director Will Tanner writes for iNews on the future of the Conservative Cabinet. He writes:

“It would be much more desirable for Conservative MPs, and better for the effective running of Government, that Johnson alters his plan, resigns as Prime Minister and recommends that the Queen installs his Deputy, Dominic Raab, in Downing Street until the new Leader is selected.

“This would bring a clean break and enable the Conservative Party to choose a serious successor in an orderly fashion, and for the country to maintain a functioning government in the interim, with departed ministers feeling that they could temporarily return to their posts as caretakers until the new Prime Minister’s reshuffle.”
