Boris Johnson defended himself against calls to resign in the House of Commons, after the long-awaited report on Downing Street parties during lockdown was published this afternoon.

Mr Johnson faced stern criticism from both opposition and backbench MPs for nearly two hours this afternoon, after Sue Gray's findings were published online.

Gray’s document was described as an ‘update’, as it lacked details due to the ongoing investigation into the parties by the Metropolitan Police.

He was told he was a "man without shame" by Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, while SNP Westminister leader Ian Blackford accused him of having "wilfully misled" the House over the alleged parties.

Here is The Scotsman’s RECAP on the events of the day.
