Boris Johnson’s future as Prime Minister has once again been brought into question following the publication of Sue Gray’s report into parties held at Downing Street during lockdown.
Mr Johnson faced hours of tough questions from MPs on Monday, after making a short statement to the House of Commons on the findings of the report - which has been heavily redacted.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer today said the Prime Minister should step down before the police investigation into 'partygate' has concluded.

Sir Keir told BBC Breakfast: "The Prime Minister broke the rules, the Prime Minister lied about having broken the rules.
" The Prime Minister had to start an investigation by Sue Gray and the Prime Minister's brought a criminal investigation upon himself.
"It's no good him trying to blame politicians in general. There's one person at the centre of this who has caused all of those problems and is subject to a criminal investigation because of his own behaviour.
"That's why I genuinely think that the time has come for him to go."
Mr Johnson has apologised over gatherings held, but only time will tell if this is enough to save him.
The deputy prime minister Dominic Raab said we should "wait and see" when asked if Boris Johnson should quit if he is found to have breached coronavirus rules.
Mr Raab told Sky News: "Let's wait and see... Allow the police to conduct their investigation and see, when they have ascertained the facts, quite what they conclude.
"Of course, there will be full transparency around that."
The police are examining around 300 photographs as part of the investigation into alleged parties.
When asked about his own leadership ambitions, Mr Raab said: "I'm fully supporting this Prime Minister. He will go on, he will win the next election, I'm very confident of that."
