Another Hampshire MP calls on the PM to go
Winchester MP Steve Brine has written a letter of no-confidence about the Prime Minister
He has as called on Boris Johnson to step down over 'Partygate', the illegal lockdown parties held in and around Downing Street.
In a statement on his website Mr Brine said: "There is of course a bigger picture here about leadership, honesty and decency. Not whether this Prime Minister can get away with it, but whether he should.
"I said some time ago, I thought it was inevitable the Prime Minister would face a vote of confidence among Conservative MPs (it was widely reported) and I haven’t changed my view. All I can do as a backbencher is seek to trigger that process and (some time ago actually) I have done that.
"I have said throughout this sorry saga I cannot and will not defend the indefensible. Rule makers cannot be law-breakers. We do need to move on but we cannot do that without regaining public trust and I am quite sure that’s not possible in the current situation."
Also calling on the PM to go is Paul Holmes the MP for Eastleigh, Romsey and Southampton North MP Caroline Nokes and Bournemouth East MP Tobias Ellwood.
