SKIPTON MP Julian Smith has called on under fire Prime Minister Boris Johnson to 'take the lead in a responsible transition to ensure stable government'.

Referring to the Prime Minister's appearance at the common's liaison committee this afternoon, Mr Smith tweeted: "The Prime Minister is absolutely right in what he has just said at the liaison committee, 'all flesh is grass'.

"He must now take the lead in a responsible transition to ensure stable government for our country."
