Keir Starmer said Tory MPs will make fools of themselves trying to defend Boris Johnson as he is expected to “apologise and then excuse himself” over the partygate fine.
The Labour leader said he anticipated a “pathetic display of Tory MPs going out to defend the indefensible” when the Prime Minister comes before the Commons on Tuesday afternoon.
Johnson is due to deliver a statement on being issued with a fixed penalty notice for breaking lockdown rules in Downing Street.
