No confidence in Boris Johnson and his advisor Dominic Cummings.
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings should be removed from office as the Great British Public have lost confidence in their ability to run the country in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We would like the government to remove Dominic Cummings from any position advising the government or MPs. We would also like for Boris Johnson to be replaced as Prime Minister so that the country can be run by someone the public can trust.
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
We can't publish petitions about honours or appointments. That includes calling for Ministers or officials to be sacked or to resign.
If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or the House of Commons, you could sign or start a petition about that.
