The government is turning a blind eye and although Johnson himself insists, before parliamentary committees and journalists, that he has no intention of resigning, he could face another impeachment motion within days.
The domino effect of resignations continues in Britain; by this afternoon the number of ministers, deputy ministers, MPs and Conservative Party officials who have "disowned" the British prime minister had reached 27. And there's more to come
All those who resigned said they no longer trust Boris Johnson. According to press reports, even Michael Gove, one of the most prominent members of the Conservatives, who has great influence within the party, has asked Boris Johnson to resign - a fact that even Johnson himself did not refuse when asked about it before a parliamentary committee.
The British Guardian points out that a new motion of impeachment could be on the horizon for Boris Johnson even within the next few days, given the rapid moves for the required rule change by the "1922 Commission".
The committee may even meet on the issue tonight, and according to two members of the committee, cited by the British media, it is considered likely that a decision to change the rules to allow a new vote will be taken immediately.
Under the current framework, Johnson is "shielded" against a new impeachment motion for a year after his political survival in a similar vote a month ago.
Johnson's spokesman insisted that the British prime minister will take the fight if a vote of confidence is raised again, and as to whether he believes he will "win," he says "yes."
