Rishi Sunak has insisted he is not considering resigning despite "spending hours" agonising over the decision after being fined for breaking coronavirus laws.
The Chancellor did not rule out having agonised over whether to quit after the Metropolitan Police issued him with a fixed-penalty notice over Boris Johnson's birthday gathering.
But Sunak insisted he will continue with the same "energy and verve I've always had for this job" as he leads the response to the cost-of-living crisis.
