Asked Directly if He Would Resign, UK PM Boris Johnson Answered: "No"

INTERNATIONAL: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, fighting to save his premiership amid a storm over a series of lockdown parties in Downing Street, has told parliament on Wednesday, January 19, he would not resign.

PM Johnson is struggling to quell an internal revolt by his own lawmakers who are angry over the parties in Downing Street, the prime minister's office and residence, during COVID lockdowns, as well as facing oppositon calls for him to step down.

UK PM, who in 2019 won his party's biggest majority in more than 30 years on a pledge to "Get Brexit Done", has repeatedly apologised for the parties and said that he was unaware of many of them.

However, he has attended what he said he thought was a work event on May 20, 2020 when the UK had been under lockdown.

The leader of the opposition Labour Party, Keir Starmer has asked Johnson in the Prime Minister's Questions session in parliament, if a prime minister should resign if he misled parliament.

Asked directly if he would resign, Johnson said: "No".
