It is reported that there are still six Conservative MPs preparing to resign. This means that the Conservative Party is currently facing a by-election of multiple parliamentary seats when it lags far behind the Labour Party in support. The British opposition Labour Party has called for an early general election. British media reported that the incident once again exposed the serious division within the conservative party. Supporters of Johnson in the Conservative Party have warned the Conservative Party not to try to prevent Johnson from returning to Parliament. At the same time, senior Tory figures accused Johnson and his supporters of trying to subvert the Sunak government. Earlier, the ruling Conservative Party lost more than 1000 local council seats in England in local elections in May.
