Dear John,
Sue Gray’s report into lockdown parties in Downing Street
has now been released.
In the face of damning findings, the Prime Minister won’t
resign and his MPs look unlikely to remove him. It’s up to YOU to take
action to get them out of Number 10.
Sue Gray’s report tells us what
we already knew - there was significant lawbreaking in No10 - but it
was even worse than we imagined. She found
that:
- Covid rules were broken at a
number of parties in Downing Street
- The
Prime Minister attended events where rules were broken
- Some
parties were planned days in advance and even after warnings of a
'substantial comms risk'
- One
event which finished after 3am involved a fight and one attendee being
sick. At another, attendees had use of a karaoke machine
- Security
and custodial staff were treated poorly and with a lack of
respect
- Staff
uncomfortable with the rule-breaking felt unable to raise their
concerns
- Senior
leadership at Number 10 were responsible for the culture of
rule-breaking
The culture of disrespect for the law in Downing Street proves this
Government has no business being in power.
Boris Johnson is a man without
honesty, integrity or respect for the law who will continue to
transform Whitehall in his image for as long as he is allowed to cling
to power. If Conservative MPs do not remove him, the British people
must at the next election. We
must work together to get them out.
Recent Best for Britain polling
found Labour can win a majority at the next election, but only if
Labour, the Lib Dems and the Greens work together and engage in
tactical stand-asides in a small number of English seats.
The time for collaboration against
the Government is NOW.
Our system is broken. It is
rigged in favour of the Conservative Party - so we must put aside our
differences and work together in the interests of ridding the British
public of this damaging establishment.
Best wishes,
Cary
Mitchell
Director of Operations, Best for
Britain
