If, in your non-believing capacity, you have any personal integrity, you must resign.

If you are stipendiary.
You will also know how hard won is the money you are paid as a stipend so that you don’t need to get another job, so that you can minister full time.
If you don’t hold the core tenets of the faith, is it not obtaining money under false pretences?

By this statement, logically what you mean is a national Referendum to replace Parliament. Nonsensical. If Leave voters voted consciously for any 'restoration', it was perceived priority of Parliament over EU Parliament. You can't keep redefining this like a chameleon.

Either way it's bad.
EITHER Johnson said it - gross, unworthy and hurtful, by anyone let alone a PM,
OR he employed a "mendacious maniac" "as head of strategy" to drive the Govt through Brexit & Covid, UK's two biggest crises since WW2.
BOTH are untenable errors of judgment.
