Labour: 'Plenty of precedent' to remove PM during wartime

Labour MP Thangam Debbonaire says 80 tories will support a Labour motion to trigger an inquiry by the Commons privileges committee into whether Boris Johnson lied about rule-breaking in Downing Street.

The Shadow Leader of the Houses of Commons also says there is "plenty of historical precedent" for removing a prime minister during wartime, before calling on Boris Johnson to step down.
