Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak broke the law. They must resign. End of story.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

PM Boris Johnson must resign as Prime Minister and Rishi Sunak must resign as Chancellor after being caught breaking the coronavirus lockdown. They attended parties in Westminster which broke their own lockdown rules. They partied while people died. They must go.

In April 2020 Catherine Calderwood, Scotland’s Chief Medical Officer, resigned after breaking the coronavirus lockdown.
In May 2020 Professor Neil Ferguson, the epidemiologist who shaped the government's coronavirus strategy, resigned after breaking the lockdown rules.
In December 2021 Allegra Stratton resigned as government spokesperson on being caught mocking "partygate".
April 2022 Boris Johnson will not resign as PM after being caught repeatedly breaking the coronavirus lockdown. Why Not?
