A former Conservative Attorney General has said Boris Johnson should quit over the "corrosive" Partygate saga.
Jeremy Wright said he could not be sure whether the Prime Minister had lied to Parliament over the extent of lockdown boozing in Downing Street but "real and lasting" damage had been done.
In a 2,300-word statement on his website, which appeared to have been taken down and then republished, Mr Wright argued that the PM had been "negligent" in failing to prevent rule-breaking events and should quit.
