What the petition asks
Boris Johnson has deliberately, or otherwise, misled Parliament over the Partygate scandal.
He has now been fined by the police for attending his own birthday party, during lockdown.
The PM can't be trusted to speak truthfully in Parliament, and must now arrange a timely resignation.

In November 2021, the Daily Mirror reported allegations that some Downing Street staff had held gatherings, when London was under COVID-19 tier 3 lockdown restrictions.
Reports of more events came, the PM repeatedly denied any wrongdoings occurred and Parliament was misled.
It has taken two enquiries, one by Sue Gray and another by the Metropolitan Police, and a fixed penalty notice for Boris to finally admit he had broken the law.
We can no longer trust his rhetoric and his must go.
