| Boris Johnson is trying hard to persuade members of the Conservative Party. |
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is facing a vote of confidence in his party on Monday due to a coup by his party members.
The growing number of lawmakers in his Conservative party has called into question his authority, dubbed the "Party Gate" scandal.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson is currently trying to gain as much support as possible in his own party, because he will have to step down if he fails to win the support of the Conservative majority.
Johnson, who won the election in 2019, is under increasing pressure as he and staff at the prime minister's residence, 10 Downing Street, are scrambling to deal with the code-19 epidemic in the UK.
Alcohol-filled parties were held during the lockdown. Rising anger against him within his party came to the fore recently when voices were raised against him and sarcastic remarks were made against him during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations of Queen Elizabeth's coronation.
Many members were seen quietly enjoying themselves.
On Monday, the once seemingly invincible Johnson also faced criticism from his close aide, Jessie Norman, a former junior minister who said the 57-year-old prime minister's stay in power had hurt both voters and the party Insulting.
Jesse said, "You have developed a culture of breaking the law on 10 Downing Street in connection with the Code."
He added that the government had "a large majority, but no long-term plans".
Jesse Norman is one of a growing number of conservative lawmakers who openly say that Boris Johnson has lost his authority to govern Britain, which has been plagued by rising prices, the threat of a recession and a strike in the capital, London.
Affected travelers face chaos. Today, a strike by rail and maritime in London has suspended all of London's underground tube systems, leaving almost the entire business and financial system paralyzed.
Although the tube system operates under the mayor of London who belongs to the Labor Party, the whole country is feeling the effects.
But Labor leader Sir Carestarmer urged Tory MPs to "show some courage" and vote against them.
The move follows a response by a British civil servant to a report of an inquiry into the parties at 10 Downing Street, known as the Save Gray Report.
The report details the number 10 parties breaking the lockdown rules and regulations.

| Boris Johnson was the talk of the town when he came to attend the Platinum Jubilee celebrations of Queen Elizabeth's coronation. |
Tonight's vote is a secret ballot.
This is important because the rebels hope that some Conservatives will do privately what they cannot do in public.
He hopes that members of the government will be among those who will vote against the Prime Minister.
But how many members can the Prime Minister make his ally?
This is the key manipulation they are currently working on. Some of the people I have spoken to are confident that the PM will face a major uprising later.
The defeat is not necessarily enough, but it is enough to show that dozens of its MPs do not want to see him in this high position anymore.
If the number of such members is like salt in flour - including those that will emerge after this vote, then their political reputation will be weakened.
A key member of the Conservative Party, who is making up his mind to vote, suggested that the number could be between 125 and 145.
Another source familiar with how these things work is the idea that it would be over 100 - and possibly by a reasonable margin.
However, keep in mind that the removal of the Prime Minister requires the support of 180 members, a majority of the members of the Conservative Party."I support Boris Johnson and will continue to do so because we are working to grow our economy, to solve people's problems and Dealing with debt is a key goal of the Cold invade era.
Honestly, we won't know for sure tonight. Some MPs will make up their minds in the next few hours. But this is happening in Parliament this afternoon.
