All three Tory MPs on the Yorkshire coast have declined to comment on the the latest allegations of lockdown-breaking parties at Downing Street.

Labour has described Boris Johnson's role as Prime Minister as untenable.

It's after an email emerged, inviting 100 staff to a garden party in May 2020, asking them to 'bring their own booze'.

Until today, the PM refused to confirm whether or not he or his wife, Carrie, attended.

An independent investigation is being held.

MP for Scarborough and Whitby, the recently-knighted Sir Robert Goodwill, Kevin Hollinrake, who represents Filey and East Yorkshire MP, Sir Greg Knight, have all declined our request to be interviewed - the latter saying it's because of the investigation.
