British PM Boris Johnson to lift nearly all COVID-19 restrictions as resignation calls intensify
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is fending off calls for his resignation with a vigorous defence of his handling of the pandemic and a plan to remove almost all COVID-19 restrictions in England next week.
Mr. Johnson has been under increasing pressure to step down over revelations that he and his staff repeatedly broke lockdown rules by holding a series of parties in his Downing Street office in 2020 and 2021. The pressure intensified Wednesday after one Conservative MP defected to the Labour Party and senior Tory MP David Davis bluntly told Mr. Johnson: “In the name of God, go.”
Mr. Johnson has apologized several times for the social gatherings and insisted he had no idea lockdown rules had been broken. He has been widely mocked for suggesting this week that he thought one party he attended in May, 2020, along with some 30 staffers, was a work event.

CONSERVATIVE MPs VOTING TO GET RID OF OR KEEP BORIS JOHNSON
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-45953182
Conservative MPs are deciding whether they want prime minister Boris Johnson to be replaced.
A vote will be held between 18:00 and 20:00 BST on Monday, with the result announced shortly afterwards.
Why is a vote happening?
Some Conservative MPs have handed in letters calling for Mr Johnson to resign.
Pressure on the prime minister has grown following the publication of details of Downing Street parties which broke Covid rules.
A report, by senior civil servant Sue Gray, said many of the gatherings "should not have been allowed".
What is a no confidence vote?
An attempt by Conservative MPs to remove their leader is known as a vote of confidence.
For a vote to be held, at least 15% of Conservative MPs have to write a letter saying they no longer support their leader. At the moment this works out as 54 MPs (out of 359).
Their letters are sent to Sir Graham Brady, the chairman of a group called the 1922 Committee, which represents them.
On Monday he said there were enough letters for a vote to take place.
