The Conservative Party had a chaotic summer as the UK baked in extreme heat
Boris Johnson has suggested the extreme heatwave in the UK over the summer may have contributed to the political "turmoil" which led to his exit from No 10. The former prime minister made the comment at an event on the fringe of the Cop27 summit in Sharm el-Sheikh.
Like the whole of the UK, Johnson and the rest of the Conservative Party were certainly feeling the heat throughout July, as the Prime Minister found himself embroiled in another scandal over his conduct just as the aftermath of ‘Partygate’ was dying down.
This sparked a wave of resignations as many ministers publicly questioned Johnson’s honesty and integrity, as it was reported Johnson was aware of the harrassment allegations before Pincher was appointed. Dozens of minsters and parliamentary secretaries stepped down from their roles in government, leading to Johnson’s own resignation just two days later after insisting he would continue in the job.
The following day, Johnson took his final Prime Minister’s Questions and then-trade minister Penny Mordaunt was eliminated from the contest, leaving Sunak and foreign secretary Liz Truss to go head-to-head over the coming weeks. The contest was ultimately won by now-former Prime Minister Truss, who lasted just 45 days in the job before being replaced by Sunak in October.
