“In the name of god, go” – pleas to Boris Johnson

Published

on

U-K Prime Minister Boris Johnson is facing increased pressure to stand down, following a dramatic question time in the House of Commons.

Conservative Tory, David Davis told Johnson to go “in the name of God”, saying the repeated reports of Covid rule-breaking at Downing Street are too significant to ignore. 

These comments came after a fierce exchange of words between the P-M and opposition leader, Keir Starmer.

So far six Conservative MPs have publicly declared no confidence in the PM, but more are thought to have submitted letters to Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the backbench 1922 committee, who organises Tory leadership contests.

There are claims that the threshold of 54 letters needed to trigger a no-confidence vote and leadership election could soon be reached, but no official word has been given.

Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross, one of those who has called for Mr Johnson to quit, said a no-confidence vote was “near” and “getting closer”.

Is the party over?

David Davis is the former Brexit Secretary, and has been a strong supporter of Johnson up until this point. 

He was particularly disappointed in the PM’s interview on Wednesday, calling it an attempt to “escape responsibility”. 

He added: “I expect my leaders to shoulder the responsibility for the actions they take. Yesterday he did the opposite of that. So, I will remind him of a quotation which may be familiar to his ear: Leopold Amery to Neville Chamberlain.

“‘You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. In the name of God, go.'”

There is also growing speculation the threshold of letters from MPs seeking teh P-M to stand down could be reached by this week. 

But Johnson remains certain in his ability in continuing to lead Britain.

UK rules change

Meanwhile, England’s Plan B measures are to end from next Thursday, with mandatory face coverings in public places and Covid passports both dropped.

The prime minister also said the government would immediately drop its advice for people to work from home.

Trump’s ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas may reshape global markets and trigger new economic dynamics.


Donald Trump’s latest diplomatic breakthrough — a ceasefire and potential peace deal between Israel and Hamas — could have ripple effects far beyond the Middle East. The former U.S. president is eyeing economic reconstruction opportunities in the region, with energy, infrastructure, and trade set to benefit if stability holds.

Experts say the deal could also influence global oil prices, energy markets, and investment flows, as renewed peace opens the door to new development projects. But it could also trigger volatility if negotiations falter or regional rivalries reignite.

As Trump prepares for further talks with China on trade and critical minerals, economists are watching closely. Could this mark the beginning of a new era of economic détente — or the start of another global power struggle centred around strategic resources?

Australia rushes to finalise billion-dollar minerals deal with the U.S.

Australia seeks a $1.2 billion minerals deal with the U.S. to reduce reliance on China ahead of Albanese-Trump talks.

Australia seeks a $1.2 billion minerals deal with the U.S. to reduce reliance on China ahead of Albanese-Trump talks.


Australia is racing to secure a landmark critical minerals deal with the United States ahead of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s upcoming meeting with President Donald Trump. The agreement, worth an estimated $1.2 billion, aims to strengthen supply chains and reduce both nations’ reliance on China’s mineral dominance.

The deal would see Australia establish a strategic reserve of rare earths, backed by U.S. investment and government funding. Australian miners are being consulted on potential price floors and financing models that could redefine the future of the country’s resources sector.

However, questions remain over the economic risks. Analysts warn that introducing price controls and heavy government intervention could have unintended consequences, especially if China retaliates with tariffs or production cuts. The deal could reshape global competition for critical minerals essential to defence, energy, and technology industries.
