Politics LIVE: Pressure mounts on Boris Johnson as poll finds 54% say Partygate scandal has 'hurt Union' | Scots back Sturgeon over Omicron response
Boris Johnson remains under pressure as PM over the Downing Street lockdown party allegations, with an inquiry into the matter nearing its conclusion.
In an exclusive poll from The Scotsman, the majority of Scots believed that Boris Johnson should resign over Partygate, and that his actions had damaged the Union.
Almost four in five Scots believe the Prime Minister should resign over the allegations that Downing Street officials held multiple parties during lockdown, including on the eve of the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral, at least one of which was attended by Mr Johnson.
Another poll from The Scotsman also found two-thirds of Scots backed Nicola Sturgeon in bringing in stricter measures to tackle the spread of Covid-19 before Christmas was the right decision.
