Boris Johnson is in deep trouble -- even his own party is turning on him
London (CNN)Boris Johnson suffered the worst crisis of his premiership on Tuesday night, as weeks of scandal and sleaze culminated in a mass rebellion by many of his own Conservative lawmakers.
While the government ultimately won a series of votes on new coronavirus measures, it did so through the indignity of relying on opposition votes. A total of 99 Conservative Members of Parliament defied Johnson, obliterating his 79-seat majority and leaving Johnson exposed.
The question on lips in Westminster is now: How bad is this for Johnson?
In a word, very. The past two weeks have been dominated by reports that he and his team held social gatherings in Downing Street in winter 2020 while the rest of the country was under coronavirus restrictions and such gatherings were illegal.
