Cancel summer recess so MPs can keep tabs on squatter PM – Plaid Cymru

Westminster recess should be cancelled as Boris Johnson can’t be trusted with the levers of power, Plaid Cymru has said.

With no clear commitment from Boris Johnson to leave Downing Street and given his track record of riding roughshod over due process, Plaid Cymru’s Westminster leader Liz Saville Roberts  said “democracy would be further undermined if Members of Parliament couldn’t keep the squatter Prime Minister honest.”

Plaid Cymru have called on Boris Johnson to immediately vacate Number 10. If Tory MPs fail to get rid of him before the recess, however, Plaid Cymru’s Westminster leader has said that he must “come to Parliament to give regular updates on his and his zombie Cabinet’s activities”.

Liz Saville Roberts MP said:

“It’s preposterous that Boris Johnson still holds the keys to Number 10 despite having lost all claim to them. His self-serving speech yesterday showed zero self-awareness and zero contrition. I fear what this bullying narcissist of a Prime Minister will do with his last days of power.

“The House of Commons is due to rise for our summer recess in under two weeks, after which Johnson will continue to be in office without any scrutiny. Democracy would be further undermined if Members of Parliament couldn’t keep the squatter Prime Minister honest.

“If he insists on hoarding power until the bitter end, he must at the very least come to Parliament to give regular updates on his and his zombie Cabinet’s activities.”
