The British newspaper "The Times", in its editorial, criticized British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and said that he should resign now, because the game is over.
The newspaper added that Johnson is still insisting on clinging to his position despite successive resignations in the ranks of his government, stressing that he has lost the confidence of his party and his country alike.
She stated that the Conservative Party suffered a historic defeat in the last by-election, which highlighted the extent of the growing hostility to Johnson across Britain, and this situation prompted the party leader to submit his resignation.
The newspaper stressed that what led Johnson to this situation were his personal flaws that characterized his entire career;
And it is manifested in his continuous lying and blatant disregard for the rules and norms that frame public life, in the words of The Times.

And she stated that the scandal accusing Chris Pincher - the former deputy leader of the majority leader of the Conservative Party in the House of Commons - of sexual assault highlighted the flaws of Johnson, who not only appointed an unsuitable candidate for that position, but worked to hide and ignore what happened and let others talk about the issue instead of him.
The Times reported that the Prime Minister initially claimed that he was unaware of any charges against Pincher, but government officials have come out and confirmed that Johnson was informed of the details of the accusation in 2019.
The newspaper also talked about the harsh criticism directed at Boris Johnson and his team after violating the rules of quarantine and celebrating the headquarters of Downing Street, and explained that the continuous deception undermines the reputation and effectiveness of the government.
She said that the Prime Minister's false statements about Chris Pincher had damaged the reputation of ministers who spoke to the media and defended Johnson's version on the issue, and damaged the solidarity trust among ministers, which is the only currency that makes them defend a government narrative out of confidence that it is honest and true.
She explained that no one inside or outside Britain can trust what the government says, especially as some ministers who resigned from Johnson's government highlighted that the prime minister refrained from telling the people the difficult facts about the economic situation in the country.
The Times called on the Conservative Party to move under an honest, respectful and responsible leadership to restore the party's reputation and consolidate its ranks to contest the upcoming elections, stressing that if Johnson remains in office, there is no hope for the party to win the upcoming electoral benefits.
