media rounds and the attorney general was even spotted entering downing street on wednesday morning presumably to provide legal advice to johnson before pmq's at pmq's johnson claimed that he'd received strong assurances from his staff that there hadn't been a party but admitted that the cabinet secretary would be launching an investigation into the matter this is somewhat implausible first off the alleged party happened in johnson's house involved johnson's staff and even his personal press secretary and let's be honest you know when NUMBER_TOKEN people are having a party in your house secondly it's just not consistent with the itv video we showed you earlier clearly there was a party and everyone knows it but even if johnson genuinely didn't know about the party and he believes his staff then this isn't much of a defense either it just alludes to the fact that his own staff lied to him and it's hard to see how this is actually that much better in fact it can be argued that it demonstrates a clear lack of judgment and leadership and is almost certainly something that the opposition will capitalize on as stammer started doing in pmqs yesterday i asked the prime minister was there a christmas party in downing street for dozens of people on december the NUMBER_TOKENth the prime minister the government spent the week telling the british public there was no party all guidance was followed completely millions of people now think the prime minister was taking them for fools that they were lied to they're right aren't they so what happens now well the cabinet secretary is investigating the matter but their report won't be out for a few weeks at least in the nearer term what happens to johnson will probably depend on how conservative backbenchers respond the smp's ian blackford called for the prime minister's resignation which unsurprisingly wasn't forthcoming but if this story hurts the conservatives poll ratings or just generally upsets backbenchers a leadership election is a real possibility after all just NUMBER_TOKEN tory mps or NUMBER_TOKEN people need to send in letters of no confidence to trigger a leadership election and there are already rumors that letters have started flowing in but what do you think should johnson resign let us know your thoughts in the comments below as a final thing feel free to buy our book brexit the coloring book regular viewers will have heard us promote it enough so we won't waste any more time on it just order soon if you want it ahead of christmas also be sure to subscribe the channel and hit the bell icon to be notified every time i release a new video special thanks to our patreon backers who make videos like this one possible and if you want to see your name at the end of videos then you too can back us on patreon the link to that is in the description
