British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government MP has resigned following allegations that he sexually harassed two men, causing new problems for the British leader already weakened by the previous scandal of another MP who was caught watching pornographic videos on the premises. of Parliament.

In his resignation letter dated yesterday, Conservative caucus deputy leader Chris Pincher admits he had "drank too much" and apologizes for "embarrassing myself and others".

According to British media, the 52-year-old Conservative MP sexually harassed two men, one of whom is an MP, at a private club in central London, the Carlton Club, on Wednesday night, sparking protests against him in the Conservative Party.

Although he has resigned as caucus deputy leader, Chris Pincher remains an MP, prompting calls for his expulsion from the party and an internal investigation.

Boris Johnson's government has also been rocked by scandals such as the Downing Street party despite Covid-19 restrictions during the pandemic, which cost the prime minister a narrowly defeated no-confidence motion.

Johnson has already paid dearly for these scandals, as the Conservatives were defeated in two by-elections in June.
