🚨Labour has called for an investigation into leaked texts that indicate there was a SECOND rule-breaking birthday party, on 19 June.

This is one that didn't make it into the Sue Gray report.

The report itself focused on 8 events, during which 83 people received 126 Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs), and included details of raucous consumption, altercations, and abuse of cleaning staff:

Our @receiptkeepers had previously mapped at between 17-19 alleged events (including ones that took place outside of No.10 and the Cabinet Office)

Only 12 were considered within the scope of investigation by the Met Police, 8 of them resulting in fines.

We also covered the seemingly contradictory statements Johnson and others gave, both in the Commons and to journalists, surrounding the various #partygate events:

Johnson maintains he didn't mislead the house, but he's already losing support among Conservative backbenchers...

10 have said they've submitted letters to Sir Graham Brady, anda further 13 have called for him to step down.

Brady heads the 1922 Committee, and needs to receive 54 letters of no-confidence to meet the threshold for a vote on Johnson's future.

But he still has to survive the Commons Privileges Committee, who'll decide whether he knowingly misled the house...

Chair of the committee, Labour MP Chris Bryant, has said that it is "absolutely certain" Johnson will have to resign if he's found to have done so.

Meanwhile, opposition leaders have delivered already impassioned speeches, calling for the PM to step down:

While the scandal rolls on, other worrying developments are unfolding.

Johnson is accused of acting like a 'tinpot despot', after watering down the ministerial code, which he is accused of breaking, so people won't necessarily have to resign if they do...
