But the foreign secretary has said Johnson's so-called apology during this week's PMQs should be enough to draw a line under the issue.
She said: "The prime minister apologised on Wednesday. He was very clear that mistakes have been made."
In her statement, Truss chose to instead focus on the positives of the PM, stating that: "I do think we need to look at the overall position we're in as a country: the fact that he has delivered Brexit, that we are recovering from Covid – we've got one of the fastest-growing economies now in the G7 and we're delivering the booster programme."

She added: "He has apologised, I think we now need to move on and talk about how we are going to sort out issues."
But she perhaps forgets that a large portion of the British public believe Johnson is the issue Truss speaks of- and they want him gone.
She urged people to "wait for the results of the Sue Gray inquiry" which seems familiar but we can't place our finger on where we have heard it before. Oh, wait, Johnson himself said that statement again, and again, and once more for effect during the PMQs.
She continued: "I completely understand people's anger and dismay about what has happened. The prime minister apologised to the House on Wednesday – I 100 per cent support him to continue getting on with the job."
