Britain’s Boris Johnson survives confidence vote but is politically wounded

LA Times  

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday survived the biggest challenge of his political career as he avoided being booted from office by his fellow Conservative Party lawmakers after months of outrage over boozy parties that he and his staff attended while the rest of the country was under COVID-19 lockdown. Johnson said he was simply attending a “work meeting.” He was also forced to apologize for a raucous gathering held in Downing Street the night before the funeral of Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth II’s husband. Addressing Conservatives ahead of the vote, Johnson told them to avoid a “pointless fratricidal debate about the future of the party” and vowed to lead them to “victory again.” “Tonight is a chance to end months of speculation and allow the government to draw a line and move on, delivering on the people’s priorities,” the prime minister’s office said in a statement prior to the vote. “I think the prime minister has to go back to Downing Street tonight and consider very carefully where he goes from here.” Even though Johnson won the challenge to his leadership, the fact that there was a vote will damage the prime minister’s reputation, one analyst said. “Today’s decision is change or lose,” Jeremy Hunt, a former Cabinet member who ran against Johnson in the 2019 contest for Conservative Party leader, said before Monday’s confidence vote.
