Why this petition matters

Started by Matthew Tovey

Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of the UK, and Rishi Sunak, the Chancellor, were today issued fines for breaking lockdown regulations. Boris Johnson is believed to be the first Prime Minister to have broken the law whilst in office.

I do not believe that anyone who breaks the law should be allowed to remain Prime Minister or Chancellor.

At the same time that No. 10 were partying in the Downing Street gardens, I was working 12 hour shifts in the NHS - in full PPE - in the corridors of hospitals that had started to resemble battlefields.

In May 2020, my colleagues and I were struggling to save lives. There were too many patients and nowhere near enough staff. Boris Johnson has said that Downing Street was full of “people working phenomenally hard under phenomenal strain”. I do not believe that in 2020 their jobs were more stressful than our jobs, on the front lines. I do not understand why this means they were allowed to break the rules whilst myself, and my colleagues, worked hard to keep people safe.

While members of this Government were partying and drinking, we were at the coalface, saving people’s lives. It was a horrible time. We weren’t thinking about partying. We were just missing our families. It was so stressful and there was nothing we could do to make things better.

Please sign my petition today if you agree with me that Prime Ministers and Chancellors should not be allowed to break the law and remain in office.
