British Labor Party leader Keir Starmer called the series of government resignations “the first recorded case of rats escaping from a sinking ship” and called on Prime Minister Boris Johnson to step down.
Sneeringly attacking the government, Starmer said that any minister now retiring “has no idea of integrity,” addressing the Speaker of the House and asking, “Isn’t this the first recorded case of shipwrecks where rats escape? , which means that the least loyal are the first to begin to refuse responsibility.
Starmer described Johnson as “in a pitiful position”, saying that ministers who are resigning now that they have defended all the scandals that have taken place “have not an iota of integrity”.
He added: “As for those who have remained in office, it is because no one else is ready to humiliate themselves,” wondering: “Doesn’t the country deserve better than a list of dogs that do nothing but nod?”
