Desperate Boris Johnson has pleaded with MPs not to find him guilty of contempt of Parliament - which could end his career in the Commons.
The shameless former Prime Minister today tried to deflect blame for the scandal onto advisors, and launched an astonishing attack on Dominic Cummings - who he said had "every motive to lie".
In an often bad-tempered face-off with members of the Privileges Committee, he was accused of using a "deflection mechanism" and told it was "obvious" that lockdown gatherings broke rules.
