A 'running joke' that ministers are saying the same thing is played out in an interview with Deputy PM Dominic Raab - as he mentions Sue Gray and the investigation being carried out into parties at No 10 during lockdown. Latest:

Mr Raab said he did not want to get"drawn in to the soap opera" of claims and repeated the line ministers have taken over the past two weeks that they will wait for Sue Gray's investigation into lockdown events at Downing Street and Whitehall to finish.He added that it was"ridiculous" the May 2020 party was in honour of him for taking over as PM while Mr Johnson was in hospital, as has been claimed.

"Of course, I want to see compliance, I'm a lawyer by heart, I also recognise as lawmakers the government has got to be seen to take a lead, show it is acting to the highest standards otherwise how can we expect others to follow it?"Labour shadow cabinet member Jon Ashworth accused Mr Johnson of focusing on"saving his own skin" instead of solving the current cost of living crisis.

"It's pretty clear to me that he's sullied, he's disgraced the office of Downing Street," Mr Ashworth told Sky News. The investigation into events at Downing Street and Whitehall by top civil servant Sue Gray is due to be completed next week.
