Not the right time for leadership change, says Clacton MP

MPs have agreed to open a parliamentary investigation into whether Boris Johnson lied to the House of Commons about parties at Downing Street during lockdown.

The measure passed without a formal vote, because no-one on the government benches shouted "no" to Labour's motion. It comes after Number 10 pulled a plan to delay the vote.

Giles Watling, the Conservative MP for Clacton, tells ´óÏó´«Ã½ Essex that if Boris Johnson deliberately misled Parliament then he has to go, but adds that now is not the right time for a leadership change.
