SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford said That if the Prime Minister did not resign, " he must be removed".

" People have sacrificed at times to The Point of breaking, while the UK government has laughed in their faces. It is clear That this Prime Minister has lost the support of The Public and now even of his own benches, " he told MPs.

Conservative MPs also fear the government's credibility has been damaged, with some warning it could harm Mr Johnson's ability to impose further coronavirus lockdowns.

And Tory MP William Wragg accused Mr Johnson of planning to " initiate Covid Winter Plan B" later on Wednesday without a statement to MPs, adding " very few will be convinced by this diversionary tactic".

Christmas quiz

One source said emails were sent out to everyone who worked in No10 inviting them to the quiz and to form teams ahead of time.

They added That Some People did not seem to realise " how ridiculous" it was at The Time and That people came into The Office That Day wearing Christmas jumpers for it.

A different source said while Some People joined the quiz via Zoom, others were there In Person and sat in groups of six.

Multiple sources have told The Bbc the quiz took place in a room used by No 10 in the Cabinet Office .

On Wednesday, Downing Street insisted the quiz was " virtual. "

And That in December 2020, then Education Secretary Gavin Williamson held a party for staff.

A spokeswoman for the education department said a " gathering" was held for those who were already in The Office and couldn't work from home.

" Drinks and snacks were brought by those attending and no outside guests or supporting staff were invited or present. While This Was work-related, Looking Back we accept it would have been better not to have gathered in this way at That particular time. "
