Boris Johnson has “lost the confidence” of Tory MPs, according to Labour’s leader, after they failed to object to a parliamentary inquiry into whether he lied to the Commons over partygate.
A Labour motion, which stated that the Prime Minister had issued statements that “appear to amount to misleading the House” when giving past assurances that Downing Street had complied with coronavirus lockdown rules, was nodded through without need for a vote on Thursday.
