Boris Johnson today made an apology in the House of Commons for attending a lockdown party.

The Tory fought to save his premiership after it was revealed a "bring your own booze" gathering was held at his official residence during the first coronavirus lockdown.

The beleaguered Prime Minister faced a major grilling at today's PMQs amid calls for him to resign from No10 - including from within his own party - if he is found to have broken strict Covid laws.

In his apology speech, he admitted for the first time he attended the drinks party at No. 10 during the first lockdown.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer slammed the "heartfelt apology" offered by Mr Johnson, calling him a "pathetic spectacle of a man who has run out of road".

MPs and members of the public have called the apology insufficient and criticised the PM for the lockdown breaches and the "hypocrisy" of his actions.
