Moorlands MP Karen Bradley has now joined the voices calling for the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, to resign.

The local MP says she has now concluded that the PM "is not a fit person to lead this great country".

In a statement today she urged Johnson to "do the right and decent thing and resign".

However, she added that if Johnson doesn't resign, she will urge the 1922 Committee to attempt to remove him from office, and asked "all political leaders" to do the same.

Read her full statement below:

The revelations of the last few days have led me to conclude that Boris Johnson is not a fit person to lead this great country.

Honesty and integrity are vital in public life.

We now understand that Mr Johnson was aware of specific allegations about a Member of Parliament and still chose to appoint them to senior Government roles and then could not immediately recall those allegations. 

Mr Johnson should do the right and decent thing and resign but if he doesn't, I will urge the 1922 Committee to take whatever steps are needed to remove him from office.

I also urge all political leaders to work together to clean up Westminster.

The public deserve nothing less.

We reported yesterday how expectation is growing that Prime Minister Boris Johnson will have to stand down - after two of his most senior ministers quit cabinet.

Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, and Health Secretary, Sajid Javid, both quit as more facts emerged about MP Chris Pincher's conduct.

The Downing Street Office of the Prime Minister had earlier denied the level of knowledge Mr Johnson had about the past record of the shamed Tamworth MP.

Mr Pincher has admitted groping men and unacceptable conduct in Parliament while drunk before appointing him to a position in the Conservative Whips' office.

Mr Johnson admitted he had been told about complaints about Mr Pincher in 2019 and made a "bad mistake" by not acting on it.

Within minutes of that admission, Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid resigned.

Mr Sunak said the public expect "government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously" while Mr Javid told the Prime Minister he can "no longer, in good conscience, continue serving in this government".

Meanwhile, Mrs Bradley also said that instances of sexual misconduct are damaging the reputation of the Tory party in a letter to the chief whip, Chris Heaton-Harris.

In a joint letter with Caroline Nokes MP, Mrs Bradley said that an "inconsistent and unclear approach" was being taken to misconduct and urged the chief whip to "employ a policy of zero tolerance".
