<p>As Boris Johnson faces the threat of a no-confidence vote, one senior Conservative MP left him in no doubt as to what he thinks of the prime minister.</p><p><br>Former minister David Davis told Johnson he had spent weeks defending him from “angry constituents”, including by reminding them of the “successes of Brexit”.</p><p><br>Speaking during Prime Minister's Questions, Davis said: “I expect my leaders to shoulder the responsibility for the actions they take. Yesterday he did the opposite of that. So, I will remind him of a quotation which may be familiar to his ear: Leopold Amery to Neville Chamberlain.</p><p><br>“You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. In the name of God, go.”</p><p><br>A visibly uncomfortably Johnson replied: “I must say to him, I don’t know what he is talking about. What I can tell him – I don’t know what quotation he is alluding to – what I can tell him is and I think have told this House repeatedly, I take full responsibility for everything done in this Government and throughout the pandemic.”</p><p><br>The number of Conservatove MPs publicly calling for Johnson to resign is increasing as the fallout of the Partygate scandal snowballs.<br></p><p>On Wednesday, Christian Wakeford, the Tory MP for Bury South, defected to Labour telling the PM he has "shown themselves incapable of offering the leadership and government this country deserves”.</p>
