Boris Johnson should quit over Partygate ahead of TV grilling, say bereaved families

Families whose loved ones died from Covid have called for Boris Johnson to step down as an MP as he faces a make-or-break battle to save his career.

Mr Johnson will be grilled by members of the Parliamentary Privileges Committee in a televised hearing on Wednesday, and could be suspended if he is found to have misled the Commons over Partygate.

He plans to release a dossier - prepared by lawyers who have cost the taxpayer at least £220,000 - in a desperate bid to discredit the investigation into him, sparking fears he may be about to throw aides under a bus.
