‘How does the prime minister sleep at night?’: MP sends powerful message over No 10 party

Labour MP Rosena Allin-Khan delivered a powerful message to Boris Johnson during PMQs on Wednesday, suggesting the nation is angry over an alleged Downing Street Christmas party.

She concluded her impassioned statement by asking the prime minister how he sleeps at night.
