Douglas Ross: PM must say if he attended party or not ‘right now’

Boris Johnson should resign if it is shown he broke lockdown rules, the leader of Conservatives in Scotland has said.

Downing Street has insisted that it will not comment on allegations relating to the event while an inquiry is under way by Whitehall mandarin Sue Gray into a number of alleged parties.
