A union representing 100,000 health workers say that Mr Johnson must go due to his "disastrous" handling of the pandemic. Unite’s national health committee says the Prime Minister's reported breaking of his own rules has meant that his position in office is now "untenable". The union also claim that Mr Johnson is responsible for Britain's record of the highest death toll in Europe, with more than 175,000 deaths from COVID-19.
Unite national officer for health Colenzo Jarrett-Thorpe said: “Health workers have toiled long and sacrificed much during the last two years of the pandemic. They have taken huge personal risks caring for the public and day-after-day observed all the standing rules on Covid.
“The Prime Minister has set these rules and yet he has flagrantly broken them. His position in office is now untenable."
"His reprehensible personal conduct follows his disastrous handling of the Covid-19 pandemic which has seen the UK suffer the highest death toll in Europe with more than 175,000 deaths – equivalent to the population the size of the city of Southend."
The group also pointed to the crisis that broke out in care homes and the PPE contracts scandals as reasons why the Prime Minister must go.
Mr Jarrett-Thorpe said: “His cavalier disregard for the rules he himself repeatedly urged us to adhere to has been compounded by the thousands of avoidable deaths in care homes at the start of the pandemic in 2020; the scandal of PPE contracts awarded to ‘friends’ of the Tory establishment; and the lack of first class PPE equipment for frontline health and social care staff."
“This flagrant breach of the rules came just a few weeks after NHS workers saved his life when he suffered from coronavirus and he was in intensive care.
"The Prime Minister should show more respect to NHS workers and the public."
Now, the union represetning 100,000 NHS staff said that health workers no longer trust the Prime Minister.

Mr Jarrett-Thorpe added: “His credibility to lead the country through the next stage of the pandemic is in shreds – who will believe a word he says?
"Our Unite health committee made up of serving NHS workers across the UK has lost its confidence in the prime minister.”
But these health workers are by far from the only ones that have called for Mr Johnson to resign.
Conservative MP William Wragg is chair of the public administration and constitutional affairs committee and a vice chair of the backbench Conservative 1922 Committee executive.
He has demanded that Mr Johsnon steps down.

In an interview with the PM programme, Mr Wragg said: "I’m particularly concerned, as a Conservative MP with interests of the country, my constituency and the Conservative party, that a series of unforced errors on matters of integrity are deeply damaging to the perception of my colleagues and the party. And that is deeply unfair to them.
"As colleagues are saying to one another and off the record, I sadly think that the prime minister’s position is untenable."
"I don’t believe it should be left to the findings of a civil servant to determine the future of the prime minister, and indeed who governs this country."
And the shadow cabinet has not been shy in its demands for Boris Johnson to go.
Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner said: “I think he should go.
"He’s lost the confidence of the British public with his lies, his deceit, and his breaking of his own rules.”
An investigation into the alleged parties held by the Tories when these were forbidden due to Covid restrictions the party had set, is underway by senior civil servant Sue Gray.
Her findings, which are due to be publshed shortly, could pose real risk to Mr Johnson's position.
