The prime minister should quit if he broke donation rules – that’s according to a senior Conservative in The Guardian.

The Guardian reports that TV shows starring Noel Clarke have been cancelled following allegations of sexual harassment and bullying – with ITV pulling plans to show the final episode of his primetime drama Viewpoint, and Sky halting his involvement in any of its productions.

The prime minister’s refusal to trigger a public inquiry into Britain’s handling of COVID is facing a fresh challenge as leading experts in government and healthcare demanded the launch of an immediate investigation, claims The Guardian.

The Guardian features four pictures of a very angry-looking Boris Johnson as it says the Electoral Commission is investigating the refurbishment of the prime minister’s Downing Street flat. 

The Guardian reports that senior Tories are urging the PM to come clean on the funding for his flat refurbishment.

The prime minister is facing mounting pressure as Conservative insiders added weight to claims he would rather see bodies pile up than order another coronavirus lockdown, says The Guardian.

The government has said a public inquiry into the UK’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic is “not appropriate” at the moment, adding that “the very people who would need to give evidence to an inquiry are working round the clock”, according to The Guardian.

David Cameron “repeatedly pushed” the Bank of England and the Treasury to “risk up to £20bn in taxpayer cash to help Greensill Capital”, The Guardian reports.

The Guardian reports that hundreds of thousands of mainly black and Asian personnel who died fighting for the British Empire have not been commemorated for their service.
