Live updates as Boris Johnson is set to appear in the Commons for the first time since his partygate fine
Boris Johnson will give a statement to the House of Commons this afternoon for the first time since he was fined by police for attending a lockdown-defying party at Downing Street. It has been reported that he will make a "full-throated apology" to MPs after he was fined by police for attending a birthday bash in breach of Covid rules, but will not address allegations he instigated some events.
