The Arab News reported, citing Reuters, Aaron Bell, a British lawmaker in the ruling Conservatives, said on Friday he had submitted a letter of no confidence in Boris Johnson, saying the prime minister’s handling of Downing Street lockdown parties had made his position untenable.

Johnson could face a vote of no confidence in his leadership if 54 of his 360 Conservative lawmakers submit a letter to the chairman of the party’s 1922 Committee.

Bell said he was profoundly disappointed in the situation after he backed Johnson to become leader.

He said in a statement on Twitter: “However the breach of trust that the events in No. 10 Downing Street represent, and the manner in which they have been handled, makes his position untenable."
