Boris Johnson faces another bruising week, with his future as U.K. prime minister in the balance amid a furious public backlash over rule-breaking parties at his Downing Street office. Six lawmakers in the governing Conservative Party have already called on Johnson to resign over allegations of alcohol-fueled get-togethers involving Downing Street staff when the country was in lockdown. Many Conservative members of Parliament report receiving hundreds of emails from local activists and voters angered by the alleged events, which include ones held in April 2021, the evening before Queen Elizabeth II sat alone at the funeral of her husband Prince Philip. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Amid warnings that Johnson has one last chance to save his leadership, Conservative Chair Oliver Dowden said the “contrite” prime minister is committed to tackling the “underlying culture” at Downing Street.
