A leading expert says Boris Johnson 'broke the law', 'misled Parliament' and 'shredded the ministerial code'.
The prime minister intends to update MPs on the fine after they return from their Easter break on Tuesday.
"The prime minister sealed his place in British history as the first lawbreaker to have occupied the premiership," Lord Hennessy wrote. The prime minister is under pressure to justify why he previously said to MPs that rules in No 10 Downing Street were followed at all times. He also criticised ministers defending his conduct on the airwaves and their use of the situation in Ukraine to argue there should not be a leadership contest now by saying they "cannot ignore the decency of your own system".
Lord Hennessy thinks future prime ministers should sign an oath to protect and uphold the constitution and that Boris Johnson "must have knowingly misled when he said the guidelines were kept throughout".
