Boris Johnson is to make his first statement to Parliament since being fined by police for breaking lockdown rules.
Boris Johnson is set to apologise for breaking his own lockdown laws when he makes his first statement to MPs since being fined by police.
He also accused the PM of using the conflict in Ukraine as a "shield" to keep his job, adding that he finds such a tactic "pretty offensive".Sir Keir predicted: "He will try an apology, and he will immediately then go into excuses". "Unless Conservative MPs can look at their consciences and vote the right way, we are not going to get the sort of result that we should get."
Under government rules, ministers are expected to resign for knowingly misleading MPs - and correct the record as soon as possible if they inadvertently tell Parliament something false. Labour sources say options under consideration include forcing a vote on whether he misled Parliament, or referring him to a parliamentary committee to investigate.
