It comes after months of controversy for Johnson and the Tory government following a number of rule-breaking Number 10 parties during lockdown. After the report by senior civil servant Sue Gray found boozy drinks parties were held at the heart of government, there has been a drip-drip of Tory MPs calling for their leader to go. There is a growing belief in Westminster that it is only a matter of when – not if – the 54 letters needed from Johnson’s MPs to trigger a confidence vote are reached. It looked like a one-two punch from the crowd. The PM was also heckled and booed more as he left the service, with one person saying “fuck off Boris”.
