Anger is growing within the Conservative Party over a series of alleged lockdown-breaking parties in Downing Street, with an increasing number of MPs now calling for the prime minister to step down

Only a handful of Conservative MPs have publicly said they have submitted letters to the 1922 Committee, but according to the Telegraph, sources have estimated about 20 may have been handed in - although that is well short of the 54 needed to trigger a leadership vote.'Mass clearout' to save own skin

Martin Reynolds, the PM's principal private secretary who sent an email inviting staff to"bring your own booze" drinks in the Number 10 garden during the first coronavirus lockdown, and his deputy Stuart Glassborow are likely to be booted out, according to the newspaper.Downing Street chief of staff Dan Rosenfield's position could also be at risk but officials in Number 10 refused to be drawn on the reports of a staff shake-up when these were put to them.

He will focus on reducing the NHS backlog, tackling small boat crossings in the Channel, freezing the BBC licence fee for two years, and introducing a"booze ban" in Downing Street, the paper said.The spotlight has also turned on Mr Johnson's wife, Carrie, who was photographed in The Sunday Telegraph embracing a friend at a social event in London in September 2020.

Met Police maintains refusal to investigate Downing Street parties amid new claimsThe Metropolitan Police says it will not change its position on investigating Downing Street parties after allegations over two new gatherings. Beyond satire. Let's see how far members of the public, in London, get when they start insisting that they 'refuse to be arrested'... corrupt and useless It is very clear that the MET are operating under the premise of one rule for those in power and another for the general populace. All fines issued during the 'partygate' period should be declared null and void as people were only following No 10's example and leadership.
