Lia Nici: PM has backing of Grimsby people
GREAT Grimsby MP Lia Nici reiterated her loyal support for the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, when she spoke in a Commons debate on 'partygate' earlier today.
She declared: "Over the last few days, I have been out and about with my constituents in Great Grimsby.
"They are sick and tired of listening to this constant thread."
Ms Nici continued: "They are very happy that essential workers have gathered together for two years to get us through the pandemic.
"Will my right hon. and learned Friend (the Paymaster-General, Michael Ellis), send a message to the Prime Minister that they support his policies and want him to carry on getting on with the job?"
The Paymaster-General replied: "I will gladly send the Prime Minister that message.
"In fact, my hon. Friend’s message is very similar to those that the Prime Minister is hearing from colleagues around the House.
"That is the focus that matters."
A similar sentiment was sounded by another Lincolnshire Conservative MP, Sir Edward Leigh.
Said he: "When Europe stands on the brink of war and there is a cost of living crisis, can we please have a sense of proportion over the Prime Minister’s being given a piece of cake in his own office by his own staff?"
Meanwhile, Cleethorpes MP Martin Vickers, also Conservative, has been less forthcoming in his support.
Interviewed on BBC TV's Look North this evening, he called for a "root-and-branch" overhaul of operations at 10 Downing Street.
He said, as soon as he realised the potential breaches of Covid regulations, the PM should have insisted that they were to cease forthwith.
