class=\"subheading\">The leader of the Scottish wing of the Conservative Party has spoken out against Prime Minister Boris Johnson on vaccine passports and said he should go if he misled Parliament about an alleged lockdown-breaking Christmas party at Downing Street.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the Prime Minister knew about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2021\/12\/08\/boris-press-spox-allegra-stratton-resigns-from-govt-role-amid-swirling-lockdown-party-claims\/\">this party<\/a> last December, knew about this party last week, and was still denying it, then that is the most serious allegation,\u201d said Douglas Ross, who leads the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party, or Scottish Tories, of the alleged party, said to have been thrown at Downing Street at a time when Christmas gatherings were largely banned for ordinary Londoners and much of the rest of England.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThere is absolutely no way you can mislead Parliament and think you would be able to get off with that,\u201d continued Ross, who sits in both the House of Commons in London and the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh \u2014 roughly equivalent to a state legislature in the United States \u2014 in comments <a

Scotsman<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMisleading Parliament in that way is completely unacceptable and no one should continue in their post if they mislead Parliament in that way,\u201d he added, in a seemingly unambiguous call for the Prime Minister to step down if his account of last year\u2019s supposed non-party is found to be untrue.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\"
