Tory MPs say fines for Johnson and Sunak over lockdown gatherings have led usually loyal supporters to express concern

There are also likely to be demands this week for a vote on referring the prime minister to the cross-party privileges committee over whether he misled MPs about Downing Street lockdown parties.

The Sunday Mirror said No 10 had refused to answer questions about the birthday gathering submitted through a freedom of information request because of national security reasons. The Labour leader, Keir Starmer, called on Tory MPs to remove Johnson. “He is unfit for office and every day he remains in Downing Street degrades his office further,” he said. “The cabinet, ministers and Tory MPs must realise this is not going to change and every time they defend Boris Johnson, they embroil themselves in his web of lies.
