we are expecting that that letter will be published a little later today, but we are also expected to hear an urgent question as it is known in the house of commons related to that, so it will be the cabinet office minister, or one of the cabinet office ministers, responding to that urgent question. they are calling for more details about the reasons that lord geidt left his role. and that is just a day after saying he would potentially stay in post. now there are questions of course about whether boris johnson, are questions of course about whether borisjohnson, the prime minister, broke ministerial rules over those parties that were held during lockdown in downing street. lord geidt did not give a specific reason when he announced his departure yesterday, but mounting pressure on number 10 to publish a letter which could give a little more detail about his thoughts and motivations for leaving his post. delays unloading ambulances at busy hospitals are causing
important parliamentary by elections. it will be a test of whether boris johnson by elections. it will be a test of whether borisjohnson has recovered his popularity or not. i m live in tiverton and honiton. hot and getting even hotter britain s heatwave expected to peak tomorrow with temperatures of 34 degrees celsius. good afternoon. borisjohnson s ethics adviser, who resigned last night, has accused the prime minister of putting him in an impossible and odious position. in his resignation letter, lord geidt said the prime minister had asked him to consider measures, understood to be on a trade issue, which risked a deliberate and purposeful breach of the ministerial code. lord geidt s letter also says he came close to quitting over the partygate affair.

later this morning. 0k, thank you very much, ben. borisjohnson has resisted more calls to resign, after a damning report on government lockdown parties was released. an investigation by the senior civil servant sue gray concluded many of the events across whitehall and downing street should not have been allowed to happen . we rejoined from downing street by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. good morning to you. we all know what the prime minister wants to do, he wants to move on, talk about other things, which are clearly very important. specifically energy costs stop where does what happened yesterday now sit? stop where does what happened yesterday now sit? stop where does what happened esterda now sit? , ., ., yesterday now sit? good morning. the weird thing about yesterday now sit? good morning. the weird thing about the yesterday now sit? good morning. the weird thing about the sue yesterday now sit? good morning. the weird thing about the sue gray - weird
