THE county's MPs are not calling for Boris Johnson to resign despite the recent partygate scandal and findings from the Sue Gray report.

Boris Johnson claimed quitting as Prime Minister over the “miserable” partygate scandal would be irresponsible.

However, he is under increasing pressure from Tory MPs to consider his position in the wake of Sue Gray’s report on lockdown parties in Downing Street.

Harriett Baldwin, MP for West Worcestershire, echoed the comments of Worcester's MP, saying she believes it is not a sackable offence.

She said: “Having read Sue Gray’s report I conclude that many staff at 10 Downing Street behaved inappropriately and shamefully in their workplace during a pandemic.

"It is clear that changes needed to be made and many people have left or moved jobs.

“I did not see anything in the text or in the photos that make me think this should be a sackable offence for our Prime Minister.  

"However I have asked for assurances that this kind of behaviour is no longer allowed to occur in what is a workplace.”

Robin Walker, MP for Worcester, said: "I am still giving my full support to the Prime Minister and I am just trying to get on with my job and remain focused on the issues at hand.

"We have GCSE and A Level's happening around the country so it's a very busy time in regard to my ministerial work. 

"I know many constituents are upset about Partygate and I have pushed all the way through for the Prime Minister to apologise, which in fairness he has done.

"I now feel its right to move on and focus on the matters ahead."

Nigel Huddleston, MP for Mid-Worcestershire, shared his views in a Twitter statement on May 25.

He said: "In response to the Sue Gray report the Prime Minister came to the House of Commons again today, took responsibility for mistakes and apologised.

"I completely understand the anger felt about the revelations and changes have already been made to the way Downing Street operates.

"I recognise that we in government need to earn back the trust of the public and as a minister I commit to playing my part, working with the PM to deliver on the priorities of the people who put us here including tackling global crises & inflation - and levelling up opportunities."
