The government faces the challenge of moving away from a row over the prime minister’s breach of Covid rules, a business minister has said.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Paul Scully told the BBC Boris Johnson has apologized and will now “rebuild trust with people who are angry”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Prime Minister is working to garner the support of his own MPs ahead of a vote on whether to have a committee investigate him for misleading Parliament.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Labor-backed vote takes place on Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Under government rules, ministers who knowingly mislead Parliament – which the Prime Minister denies – are expected to resign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If MPs vote in favor of an inquiry, the Privileges Committee – made up of seven MPs – could recommend sanctions, including an apology, a suspension or even expulsion from the House of Commons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, the move is unlikely to succeed as the majority of Conservative MPs back the Prime Minister and will likely be instructed to vote against the Labor motion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr Scully said the government would await the wording of the motion before deciding on the vote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    BBC Breakfast Labor deputy leader Angela Rayner reiterated calls for Mr Johnson to resign. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    She said Mr Johnson is undermining “our democratic processes” and “debases the office” of prime minister.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Mr Johnson spoke to MPs on Tuesday for the first time since being fined by the Met Police for breaching Covid laws and repeatedly apologized for his “mistake”. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    He said he didn’t realize he had broken the rules by attending a Downing Street birthday party, but he accepted the police’s decisions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Labor leader Sir Keir Starmer accused the Prime Minister of offering “absurd” excuses; while SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford said: “If he has any decency and dignity, not only would he apologise, he would resign.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    And Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said it was “deeply damaging” for the UK “to be led by a man the public no longer trusts and trusts”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    In the House of Commons, the majority of Conservative MPs backed the PM, but a former senior minister – Mark Harper – urged Mr Johnson to stop, saying his actions were “unjustifiable”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    And another MP, Duncan Baker, told Radio Norfolk: “When there are more firm penalties, MPs like me have a lot to think about.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    After spending over an hour and a half answering questions in the House of Commons, Mr Johnson turned to his own MPs to bolster support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    The BBC was told Mr Johnson had asked his party whether they would rather have him or Labor in power, adding: “We will continue with our one nation Conservative agenda.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    A Downing Street source has confirmed that Mr Johnson told Conservative MPs the Government’s plan to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda had been “misinterpreted” by the Archbishop of Canterbury.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said politics is “the opposite of God’s nature” during his Easter sermon over the weekend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Asked if there was a party at Downing Street on December 18, 2020, Boris Johnson told the Commons December 1, 2021<\/b> that “all instructions in #10 have been fully followed”. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    He further told MPs after releasing a video showing No10 staff joking about the December 18 event December 8, 2021<\/b> he had been \u201crepeatedly assured\u201d that \u201cthere was no party and that no Covid rules were being broken\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Later that day, he told the Commons he was “sure that whatever happened, the instructions were followed and the rules were followed at all times”. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    on January 12, 2022<\/b>he apologized for attending a garden party at Downing Street on May 20, 2020, but said he “implicitly believed” it was a work event.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
