Greens in Herefordshire are calling for Sir Bill Wiggin MP to reveal how he voted in the confidence vote on Boris Johnson’s premiership earlier this week.

The Herefordshire North MP said earlier in June that he continued to support the Prime Minister following the Sue Gray report which called out  the party culture in Downing Street during nationwide lockdowns which banned social activity in order to curb the spread of Covid.

North Herefordshire’s Green parliamentary candidate Ellie Chowns said: ‘Our country needs a leader who can be trusted to do the right thing, to tell the truth, and to stick to the rules that he asked everyone else to follow.  Boris Johnson has demonstrated that he simply can’t be trusted and he can’t tell right from wrong. It’s time for him to go.  Our country deserves better. Jesse Norman MP has made his views on Boris Johnson very clear, now we really need to know if Sir Bill Wiggin is prepared to defend the indefensible.’

‘Boris Johnson’s failure of leadership has not only damaged trust in public health measures, but he is also allowing other very urgent issues to spiral out of control, including the energy and cost of living crises, the Northern Ireland Protocol, the climate crisis and the pitiful state of our rivers,’ said Chowns.
