A senior Tory MP told Boris Johnson to resign over the Partygate scandal in a heated House of Commons exchange on Monday.

Andrew Mitchell, a former international development secretary, responded to Sue Gray’s bombshell report into lockdown-busting Downing Street parties by publicly withdrawing his support for the embattled prime minister.

He said: “Does my Right Honourable Friend recall that… he has enjoyed by full-throated support. But I am deeply concerned by these events, and very concerned indeed by what I have heard from this despatch box, to the British public and our constituents.

“When he kindly invited me to see him ten days ago, I told him that I thought he should think very carefully about what was now in the best interests of our country, and of the Conservative Party.

“And I have to tell him: he no longer enjoys my support.”

Former Cabinet minister Andrew Mitchell told MPs that Boris Johnson no longer has his support following the publication of Sue Gray’s update.

The prime minister replied he hopes he will reconsider.https://t.co/gWW0eiMiUQ pic.twitter.com/PqRb7pdIz7

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
