Bradford's Conservative MPs who lost confidence in the Prime Minister "some time ago" have said it is right Boris Johnson has resigned.

Robbie Moore, representing the Keighley and Ilkley constituency, said Boris Johnson had “undoubtedly” lost all public trust amid Government scandals.

Sharing his view, Mr Moore told the Telegraph & Argus: “The Prime Minister has rightly resigned. I lost confidence in the Prime Minister some time ago and have made my views known on this previously. The wider Conservative parliamentary party have clearly reached the same conclusion.

“Honesty and integrity in public office matter. Whilst there were many great things achieved under Boris Johnson’s premiership, public trust had undoubtedly eroded and as a result far too much of his time was spent on dealing with reputational damage rather than putting full focus on delivering for the country.

“We must now move on with fresh leadership, to ensure we solely focus on delivering on the priorities and challenges we are facing as a nation.”

Meanwhile Philip Davies (Shipley, Conservative) described the last couple of days in politics as a "circus".

Mr Davies said: “As I made clear at the time I voted against Boris in the recent vote of confidence so to that extent I feel we’ve arrived at the right outcome - despite the circus of the last couple of days getting there.

“It’s right that Boris remains as Prime Minister until we’ve chosen his replacement.

“With all these types of decisions there’ll be some people in my constituency who are very happy, some people who are unhappy and disappointed. But the fact of the matter is we are where we are.

“The decision’s been made so we can only look forwards. It’s no good anybody looking backwards.”

When asked if there’s any candidates he’d put forward for the job, he said: “Whoever is elected will be sticking closely to the 2019 manifesto.

“I’m not on anybody’s campaign. I don’t have a favourite candidate.

“I shall see who the candidates are. I will speak to them all in turn and vote for who I think will be the best person for the country and my constituents.”

Since entering 10 Downing Street, Mr Johnson has been tasked with Brexit, the cost of living crisis, a pandemic, Dominic Cummings drama, the Sue Gray report on the partygate scandal, rail strikes and much more.

The leader’s departure was sparked by the two major cabinet resignations from health and social care secretary Sajid Javid and Chancellor Rishi Sunak.
