Boris Johnson walked out of the UK Parliament while former Prime Minister, Theresa May, was giving a speech criticising the UK Government’s handling of a second covid-19 lockdown. Members of Parliament audibly groaned at the apparent lack of respect shown by the PM towards his predecessor.
The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Boris Johnson walks out during Theresa May’s speech criticising lockdown” – below is their description.
MPs audibly groaned in the House of Commons when the Prime Minister stood up and walked out during Theresa May’s speech which criticised the government’s handling of the second lockdown.
The former Prime Minister had only started speaking when her successor was seen leaving the chamber, which provoked an audible reaction among the other sitting MPs.
After shrugging the incident off, Theresa May went on to deliver a long criticism of the government’s lack of transparency over the data which informed the second lockdown.
