Boris Johnson is in deep trouble -- even his own party is turning on him
CNN
Boris Johnson suffered the worst crisis of his premiership on Tuesday night, as weeks of scandal and sleaze culminated in a mass rebellion by many of his own Conservative lawmakers.
While the government ultimately won a series of votes on new coronavirus measures, it did so through the indignity of relying on opposition votes. A total of 99 Conservative Members of Parliament defied Johnson, obliterating his 79-seat majority and leaving Johnson exposed.
The question on lips in Westminster is now: How bad is this for Johnson?
When prosecutors make their final pitch Tuesday to a New York jury for why they should convict Donald Trump of a slew of business crimes, they’ll face the burdensome task of weaving together weeks of testimony and evidence they say proves the former president committed felonies to help his 2016 campaign.
