The fallout from Sue Gray's report into Covid-rule-breaking in Downing Street continues, after the 60 page document revealed highly-damaging details of the Partygate saga.

Senior leadership at Number 10 was heavily criticised in the report, with top civil servant Ms Gray saying they must "bear responsibility" for the party culture in Downing Street, which came about due to a "failure of leadership."

The Prime Minister said he took "full responsibility" for the rule-breaking which took place on his watch - but defended himself by saying he was not present for a number of the illegal gatherings, and resisted calls to resign.
