Tory MP: Ukraine situation is not excuse to lower standards

Conservative MP for Hazel Grove Will Wragg believes Prime Minister Boris Johnson is no longer "fit to govern", explaining that the invasion of Ukraine should not be a reason that the country should accept "lower standards ourselves".

Wragg says he has told the PM he thinks he is doing a "good job" on Ukraine but "cannot reconcile himself" and cannot carry on hiding his views with "ever more elaborate disguises".

On Thursday, rescuers tirelessly worked to clear mountains of rubble from the aftermath of a devastating Russian missile strike on Ukraine's cherished city of Chernihiv. The attack, which claimed the lives of at least 18 individuals, has reignited urgent appeals for international allies to reinforce Kyiv's already overstretched air defence capabilities. Three Russian missiles struck the northern Ukrainian city on Wednesday, leaving harrowing scenes of destruction and pools of blood in their wake. Amidst the chaos, rescue teams tirelessly searched for survivors and evacuated the injured on stretchers, underscoring the urgent need for support in the face of escalating violence. The official death count rose to 18 as of Thursday morning, with 77 people including four children injured, according to Ukraine's emergency services department. #RussiaUkraineWar #ChernihivAttack #WarCrimes #VolodymyrZelenskyy #HistoricCityUnderAttack #PrayForChernihiv #StopWar #PeaceForUkraine #HumanitarianCrisis #EndViolence ~PR.152~ED.103~GR.125~HT.96~
