Johnson faces revolt by scores of backbenchers over Cummings

At least 15 Conservative backbenchers have called for Mr Cummings to go, while several others have spoken out against his actions.

Boris Johnson is facing a revolt from scores of his own backbenchers as they line up to condemn the British Prime Minister and his chief adviser Dominic Cummings.

A storm of protest continues to rage not only over revelations that Mr Cummings broke the British Government’s own lockdown guidelines, but also over Mr Johnson’s defence of him on Sunday.
