Mark Harper, the Tory former chief whip, has told Boris Johnson he should resign over the "partygate" scandal.

Mr Harper said: "I strongly support the Government's actions in standing up to Putin's aggression and helping Ukraine defend itself and our values and it is exactly at times like this that our country needs a prime minister who exemplifies those values.

"I regret to say that we have a Prime Minister who broke the laws that he told the country they had to follow, hasn't been straight forward about it and is now going to ask the decent men and women on these benches to defend what I think is indefensible.

"I am very sorry to have to say this, but I no longer think he is worthy of the great office that he holds."
