My letter to my MP:
🧵

Dear Mr Hunt,

Well, we are here again as I knew we would be.
When I wrote to you at the beginning of this scandal you responded that you wanted to wait for the outcome of the “Sue Gray Enquiry” before you made a decision around gatherings /1

in Downing Street and the Cabinet Office during a lockdown which affected the whole country and during which I didn’t see my 90 year old mother for lengthy periods of time.

Now the Metropolitan Police have decided that these gatherings were breaches of the covid rules /2

in place at that time and, therefore, criminal offences and, the Prime Minister and Chancellor have both made a decision not to contest this decision, you clearly have no alternative but to demand both parties (excuse the pun) tender their resignations to the 1922 Committee /3

at the earliest opportunity!

Failure to do so will surely undermine ordinary citizens’ faith in parliamentary democracy and the rule of law.

Please do not respond that now is not the time for a leadership election, quoting the war in Ukraine, as this is clearly erroneous. /4

It wouldn’t be the first time that a new PM had been selected at a time or war in another territory.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards  

John Hodge /end
