British Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged the Conservative Members of the Parliament (MPs) to support him in the vote of confidence he is facing later in the day "because I know how much we can achieve together."
In the letter he sent to the Tory MPs, Johnson highlighted the government's resilience and decisiveness on the matters such as the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia's military operation in Ukraine, and the rising inflation as the reasons the party should back him. He promised that he will take the criticism he has received seriously and learn "about the improvements you wish to see."
Johnson is facing the vote of confidence later in the day over his involvement in the so-called partygate scandal, which broke out after it was revealed a series of parties took place at 10 Downing Street in 2020 while the country was under a lockdown that was supposed to curb the spread of COVID-19.
