In a stinging letter, the pro barrister said his commitment to the rule of law left him "no option" but to walk.
He branded “repeated rule-breaking” a slap in the face to ordinary Brits and said it would be “inconsistent with the rule of law for that conduct to pass with constitutional impunity, especially when many in society complied with the rules at great personal cost”.
And he said the saga undermined Britain's ability to "credibly defend democratic norms abroad, especially at a time of war in Europe."
Russia's invasion of Ukraine had pushed the Partygate saga into the background and allowed the PM to claw back vital support from MPs.
But Scotland Yard's decision to hand him a fixed penalty has burst the furore back under the spotlight and ramped up the pressure.
Mr Johnson has shown no sign of quitting - vowing to pay the public back by working as hard as ever to serve them.
He apologised for "falling short" on his own rules and said he has paid his fine.

It's always easy for oyibo to tender their resignation letter because they had work before politics and will go back to work. Some even take up lecturing jobs to impact after serving the public. But our politicians are forever politicians and contractors after politics.
ReplyDeleteHere in 9ja we are still waiting for that fool that slapped a girl and ordered his bodyguards to beat her up at a sex toy shop to resign
ReplyDeleteWe will give our own award untop their misbehavior
ReplyDeleteThe fine of £50 is still a slap in the hand for MPs who are mostly millionaires. Because ordinary citizens were fine up to £1000 during the pandemic. But Boris Johnson got no honour at all and he is a very corrupt individual that gets money from Russian oligarchs to run their party and use same money to run. Brexit campaign shameless lots.
