Angela Richardson – 2022 Comments on Voting Against Boris Johnson

The comments made by Angela Richardson, the Conservative MP for Guildford, on 6 June 2022.

From the very beginning of the issues surrounding the prime minister’s conduct during the lockdown period and his subsequent answers to parliamentary questions, I have been consistent in my views about the standards people expect of those in high office.

Last week, I made a statement following the publication of the full Sue Gray report that questioned whether those standards had been upheld.

The deep disappointment I expressed in a previous statement in January has not abated.

Given that, I will be voting no confidence in Boris Johnson this evening.
