By Tory MP submits letter of no confidence in PM
The PM is addressing MPs about ‘partygate’ and accusations that he deliberately misled parliament.
Sir Keir Starmer opened with an explosive attack on the PM and his supporters.
“He is dishonest, incapable of changing, and drags everyone else down with him.”
Johnson says his opponent has responded with “a series of personal attacks”.
If an attempt to distract, the PM then says “good thing” if Starmer had mentioned the crisis in Ukraine.
“This government will get on with our job,” the PM adds, rhetoric continuously used throughout.
Tory MP Mark Harper says he strongly supports the government in standing up to Ukraine but says it is at times like this the prime minister must “exemplify the values” of the UK.
He adds that he is “no longer worthy of the great office he holds”.
According to reports, the MP has submitted a letter of no confidence which was posted on social media.
“I no longer have confidence in Boris Johnson as leader of the Conservative party.”.
“Integrity is about doing the right thing, even when no one is looking”.
When asked about whether or not he misled parliament the PM said “No”.
