Grieving families from across Merseyside, who've lost loved ones to Covid, are joining others from around the country calling on the Prime Minister to 'Go Now.'

They're writing to Boris Johnson urging him to resign following his apology after receiving a fine for being at an event in June 2020.

It comes as opposition parties ramp up the pressure over the lockdown breaches - with two polls saying more than half of voters agree.

Elkan Abrahamson is a solicitor representing the Covid19 Bereaved Families for Justice - he's been reading us some of the letter :

"Prime Minister, we couldn't hold our loved ones hands when they passed away and we couldn't visit when they needed us the most. Every single day this is something we have to live with.

"You trampled on the sacrifices we, and all the British public made.

"You have paid a fine, our loved ones paid with their lives.

"Go and go now."
