At least one more letter of no confidence in Boris Johnson’s been submitted by a Conservative MP since his apology on Monday.

Peter Aldous has become the latest to go public after some of Sue Gray's findings around lockdown parties were released.

The rest of the report has been delayed due to an ongoing investigation by the Metropolitan police.

Notably, Downing Street now says we will find out if the Prime Minister is fined over lockdown parties, despite initially being unable to guarantee that.

The Labour MP for Sheffield Hallam is Olivia Blake.

She thinks it's 'about time' Boris Johnson took responsibility for his actions:

"Sue Gray's hands were quite clearly tied on this report, and she was unable to publish the full extent of her findings.

"We will be pushing for Sue Gray's report to be published in full once the police investigation has ended.

"It's quite clear that the Prime Minister's position is completely untenable.

"I don't think Boris Johnson can come back from this, and I think more people in the Tory party are realising this as time progresses."

The Prime Minister has been in Kiev in recent days to discuss the build-up of troops from Moscow on the Ukrainian border.
