‘Boris has to go,’ Rayner rails against Johnson ahead of PMQs
Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner has said members of the public do not need to findings of the Sue Gray report to know Boris Johnson should resign.

“Sue Gray will simply lay out the facts of what seems be a very clear culture of total disregard for propriety and rules in Downing Street — the culture comes only from the person in charge.
“Soon we will be able to read Gray’s finding for ourselves, but we did not need to see the government so distracted in a time when they need to act.
“All we needed was for the man at the top of British politics to tell the truth, or for the Conservative Party to do the right thing when he refused.”
