The

Labor Party

leads

the Conservative Party

for the first time

since

Boris Johnson

came to power

.

According to an

Opinium

poll

for

The Obsever,

Labor not only slashed the disadvantage by 26 points at the end of March but also outnumbered the

Tories

42% to 39% among British voters.

Johnson's plummet due to the

chaotic management of the pandemic

has coincided with the rise of the new opposition leader, former attorney general

Keir Starmer,

considered more qualified by the prime minister (36%) than the conservative leader (32%). ).

Johnson also faces the umpteenth rebellion in his ranks, this time over the new measures against the coronavirus.

The chairman of the influential 1922 parliamentary committee,

Graham Brady,

claims to have the support of 46 deputies at the moment for a motion that seeks to force the Government to vote in Westminster on future restrictions to contain the virus.

The hard wing of the party has openly questioned the latest measures promoted by Johnson - such as the curfew at ten at night in pubs and restaurants - and have warned the

premier

about the economic impact that a new lockdown could have.

More than 16 people were arrested and nine policemen were injured in the demonstration in

Trafalgar Square

that summoned

more than 15,000 Britons against the new restrictions, days after Johnson himself made a call on television for "individual conduct" in the face of the pandemic and threatened to use the army in support of the police to ensure compliance with the rules.
