Following the release of the Privileges Committee report, bereaved relatives have stated that Boris Johnson owes the country an apology for flouting the law in order to throw a party while families "were saying goodbye to loved ones over Zoom.".
According to the Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK organization, the former prime minister "showed no remorse" and should not run for office again.
After losing her father Ranjith in 2020, Leshie Chandrapala said that Mr. Johnson "should take responsibility.".
The limitations in place at the time prevented her from going to see her father in the hospital. She watched him via Facetime as he lay connected to a ventilator the day before he passed away.
She declared, "Now is the time to be contrite.".
"He owes the country, and the bereaved in particular, a huge apology. ".
According to the MPs' report, former prime minister Boris Johnson purposefully misled the Commons about lockdown parties at Downing Street.
West London resident Leshie, 43, expressed her resentment toward Mr. Johnson.
Originally set to retire, her father Ranjith, a 64-year-old bus driver, started experiencing Covid symptoms on April 24.
Six days later, he was still there. He died three days later.
"Boris Johnson serving as our prime minister is truly a great shame for our country. A different leader wouldn't have resulted in these outcomes, the speaker claimed.
"My father was my true love. Being unable to be there for him has left me traumatized forever. ".
The Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK group claimed that the committee's decision was "another grim reminder" of the former prime minister breaking his own rules "so he could have a party and a laugh" while people "were saying goodbye to loved ones over Zoom.".
The virus claimed the life of David Garfinkel's 76-year-old father, Ivor.
He now serves as a spokesperson for the Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK organization, and he told the BBC that the report's findings were not unexpected.
Johnson hasn't expressed regret, the man claimed.
Johnson should never be permitted to run for any type of public office again because it is an absolute tragedy that he was in charge when the pandemic hit. ".
He continued, "His excuse was he had to be at a leaving event. When people were dying of COVID and burying their loved ones, why was that so crucial?
"For 25 minutes, he was in a leaving event. When my father passed away, the ventilator was turned off in less than three minutes. ".
For grieving families, he continued. We all adhered to the regulations. We'll have to live with the consequences of not being there for our loved ones at the very end when they passed away for the rest of our lives. ".
Liz called into Nicky Campbell's phone-in segment on BBC Radio 5 Live from Harrogate. She claimed that the report had helped her regain confidence in Parliament.
The family was only able to invite six people to her father's funeral when he passed away from Covid.
"My mother wasn't even able to place a carnation on his casket. Her hug was off limits. It was inhumane. ".
She describes Mr. Johnson's reply as "typical Boris.".
It's beyond funny how self-important and full of himself he is. ".
Boris Johnson's resignation honors list included the knighthood of former cabinet minister Sir Simon Clarke, who expressed shock at the report's harshness.
He wrote on Twitter, "I still believe Boris today as I did yesterday. This punishment is so extraordinary it borders on being purely vengeful. ".
Brendan Clarke-Smith, a member of parliament for Bassetlaw, expressed his shock and said, "I'm backing fairness and justice - not kangaroo courts. ".
While this was going on, Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg, who was also given a knighthood as part of the resignation honors last week, called the report "fundamentally flawed.".
The report had "overreached," Nadine Dorries, a Conservative MP who has stated her intention to resign, wrote on Twitter.
After Mr. Johnson read the report last week, Education Secretary Gillian Keegan stated: "Boris has achieved an awful lot. He made his decision, he made the decision to resign.". ".
Tobias Ellwood, a senior Tory lawmaker, expressed his hope that lawmakers would be able to move past the "public pantomime" as a result of the report.
Any claims that the committee "had it in" for the former prime minister were refuted by former attorney general and Conservative MP Dominic Grieve.
He continued, "The history of his lying is just epic," adding that the sanctions the committee suggested were "a result of his own actions.". ".
Angela Rayner, the deputy leader of Labour, referred to Boris Johnson as "not only a lawbreaker, but a liar.".
"He is not qualified to hold public office. In his attempts to discredit anyone who objects to his actions, he has disgraced himself and behaves like a pound shop Trump, she claimed.
Leader of the Liberal Democrats, Sir Ed Davey, claimed that Mr. Johnson had shown contempt for the populace.
Humza Yousaf, the leader of the SNP and First Minister of Scotland, claimed that when people in the UK "couldn't visit a loved one," Boris Johnson was "breaking the rules and having parties at Number 10."
