From Morning Report, 8:27 am on 19 January 2022

The British prime minister Boris Johnson is again apologising for staff lockdown parties - while categorically denying he was warned a drinks party in the garden at 10 Downing Street risked breaking lockdown rules.

A former senior government advisor Dominic Cummings says he warned Mr Johnson at the time, and has accused him of misleading MPs about it.

London correspondent Olly Barratt talks to Max Towle about the saga.
