LONDON, July 2 — UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson returned Friday from an overseas tour straight into a new crisis after another senior Conservative was forced to quit his scandal-hit government.
His departure from its whips’ office — charged with enforcing party discipline and standards — marks the latest allegation of sexual misconduct by Tories in recent months. The 58-year-old premier still faces a parliamentary probe into whether he lied to MPs over the lockdown-breaching parties in Downing Street.The controversies come with Britain battling a worsening cost-of-living crisis and a summer of strikes by various unions over wages and working conditions.
Johnson returned home after nine days of globetrotting that saw him attend three international summits, including a Commonwealth gathering in Rwanda and G7 meeting in Germany.Pincher’s resignation within hours of that immediately refocused attention on persistent claims of Tory sleaze. Sources close to Johnson initially said Pincher’s resignation settled the matter, with no further action required by the party.
