fans in manchester. staying in the uk but moving away from football and onto politics. there are calls for unity within the conservative party, after borisjohnson's decision to stand down as an mp. three tory mps have announced their resignations in the past 2a hours. they trigger a series of by—elections and raise questions about the future of rishi sunak�*s government. the latest to announce he's stepping down with immediate effect was nigel adams — a big supporter of former prime minister boris johnson. on friday another political ally of mrjohnson, nadine dorries, announced she was quitting to be swiftly followed by the former prime minister himself, claiming he was the victim of a "witchhunt". this that's after he received an advance copy of a report into whether he deliberately misled parliament over covid lockdown parties at downing street. three by—elections will now be held at a time when rishi sunak�*s conservative party is languishing in the opinion polls. 0ur political correspondent, damian grammaticas, has the latest.

is this the end of a political career? "a witch—hunt," borisjohnson says, forced him out. "a kangaroo court," he has called parliament's investigation. in truth, he saw its conclusions before we did, and decided to go. it was this, partygate, mps were probing — whether mrjohnson lied to parliament. he has gone before it's published. he feels he can't be held to account for what others did when he wasn't present. he didn't know? that is his version, that is his story. i am merely... laughter. ..i am merely acting as a reporter. so today, labour out campaigning in uxbridge. they smell a chance to snap up the seat borisjohnson once had a big majority in, but has abruptly vacated. borisjohnson has shown himself to be a coward once more. he has not held his hands up and taken responsibility as he should do. the privileges committee, a well—respected committee made up
10:07 pm
of a majority of tory mps, and he hasjust tried to trash them and say, "i've got no responsibility, "i've done nothing wrong." all this means trouble for mrjohnson's successor here. that may have been part of his aim with this resignation. rishi sunak is blamed by some of borisjohnson's supporters for abetting his downfall. today, ministers were trying to keep out of things. the determination of whether or not he should stand down was purely a decision for the former prime minister, and that's where that rests. our focus is on delivering on the priorities of the british people. that is where the prime minister's focus is, that is the priority of all of government. that borisjohnson is divisive, for some a chaotic liability, for others an election—winner, was clear for those in uxbridge today. argh. taking the easy option out, isn't he? instead of standing there and defending himself and everyone else, he is doing the wrong thing. i don't like him in any case. i think it's the best thing that could happen, get rid of him. i would vote for him tomorrow. great man, he has a huge amount
10:08 pm
. of support all over the country. and it has been a witch—hunt. he'll be back, i reckon. and more by—elections loom. nigel adams, a loyal supporter of borisjohnson, today said he was also standing down. nadine dorries quit yesterday. she thought she was in line for a seat in the lords in his resignation honours, but wasn't on the list released by downing street. what all this means for rishi sunak and the conservatives is that new tensions are swirling between factions in the party, and by—elections are coming, just when the conservatives are languishing in the polls. losing any of those could lead some tory mps to question, as borisjohnson did in his resignation letter, the direction of the party and rishi sunak�*s leadership. rishi sunak should above all, borisjohnson and his backers think, be offering tax cuts. what we want is reassurance from the prime minister, that that is very much his agenda and then examples of how he is pursuing that agenda
10:09 pm
because clearly some of my colleagues don't feel they are very welcome on the journey, so that three of them have now decided to get off the bus altogether. and worse for rishi sunak, borisjohnson has hinted he might try a comeback. former us president donald trump has called the federal charges against him a witch—hunt during a speech at the georgia republican convention in columbus. it was his first first public appearance since being indicted over withholding classified presidential documents. mr trump — who's due to make a first appearance in the case in a miami court on tuesday — insisted the charges are all a hoax. they have launched one the hawks sandwich hunt after another to try and thwart our movement transport thwart the will of the american people. thwart the will of the american eo - le. ., , ., , thwart the will of the american --eole. ., , ~ . people. not even believable. witch scam, people. not even believable. witch scam. hoax- _ people. not even believable. witch scam. hoax- it— people. not even believable. witch scam, hoax. it is— people. not even believable. witch scam, hoax. it is called _ people. not even believable. witch scam, hoax. it is called election . scam, hoax. it is called election interference and they are doing the
