Read our privacy policy Boris Johnson is more popular than Rishi Sunak among 2019 Tory voters despite his disgrace over Partygate, a shock poll has revealed. Mr Sunak has been accused of “running scared” of Monday’s vote on the damning report which found Mr Johnson lied to parliament, as the PM tries to distance himself from the scandal. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said Mr Sunak should “show us where he stands” on the issue after the committee concluded that Mr Johnson should have faced a 90-day suspension for repeatedly lying and being complicit in a campaign of intimidation against the panel. The PM told ITV’s Good Morning Britain: “It will be up to each and every individual MP to make a decision of what they want to do when the time comes.” Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak in happier times together Lib Dem deputy leader Daisy Coooper said: “The buck stops at the very top of government – if Rishi Sunak really wanted to govern with integrity he shouldn’t be running scared of this vote.” It is not clear whether there ultimately will be a vote on the conclusions of the report, which could go through on the nod unless there are objections from Mr Johnson’s supporters.
