A new scandal in the British government has dropped the prime minister’s highest confidence rating.
Against the backdrop of the latest scandal in the British government, 69% of the country’s residents are in favor of Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s resignation. This was confirmed by a survey by YouGov, the results of which were published on July 6.

Dissatisfaction with the head of the British government was caused by the situation with the appointment of MP Chris Pincher, who has been accused of sexual harassment, to a senior position. The investigation against him has been ongoing since 2019, but Downing Street denied knowing it.
So far, only 18% of Britons want Johnson to stay in office. The prime minister’s departure was supported by 54% of respondents who voted for him in 2019.
One in five respondents (21%) believe the head of government will resign, compared to 7% at the beginning of June. Two-thirds (68%) hope he will try to stay in office.
It was noted that the prime minister’s former highest distrust was 63% in January, when a scandal erupted among the parties on Downing Street during the pandemic.
Earlier, British Finance Minister Rishi Sunak and Health Minister Sajid Javid resigned after criticizing the Prime Minister.
At the same time, according to media reports, Johnson will not resign.
