Boris Johnson has been told to resign by a senior Conservative MP for breaking coronavirus laws after apologising and insisting he did not know he was breaching his own rules.

Former chief whip Mark Harper told Mr Johnson he is no longer “worthy” of being UK Prime Minister during a heated house of commons debate on Tuesday as he was repeatedly told to quit.
