"I expect my leaders to shoulder the responsibility for the actions they take," Brexit-supporting Conservative lawmaker David Davis told parliament. Davis cited a quote from a Conservative lawmaker, Leo Amery, to then Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain over his handling of war in 1940: "You have sat there too long for the good you have done. Implored to stay by one supporter, Johnson said he had not yet "sat here quite long enough, indeed nothing like long enough." Leading rivals within the Conservative Party include Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, 41, and Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, 46. "Every week, the prime minister offers absurd and frankly unbelievable defences to the Downing Street parties, and each week it unravels."
