North East leaders demand 'pantomime villain' Boris Johnson quits after 'sickening' Sue Gray report

Outraged North East leaders have vented their fury and demanded that Boris Johnson resign after a “sickening” report into lockdown parties in Downing Street was finally released.

The “update” document revealed that 12 events are being investigated by the Metropolitan Police, including a gathering in the Downing Street flat and one to mark the Tory Prime Minister’s birthday in June 2020.
