The fallout from Boris Johnson's sudden exit from Westminster continues to lead several of the front pages on Tuesday.
The Times has seen details of the standards watchdog investigation into whether Boris Johnson deliberately misled parliament over Covid rule-breaking in Downing Street. The full report - which is expected to be published this week - will say Mr Johnson was warned by officials not to give assurances that all the rules had been followed, the Times writes. The ex-PM has called it a “witch hunt” and quit the Commons ahead of its publication.
After what has been a turbulent few days for the Conservative Party following the resignation of three MPs, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy Hunt, has vowed to cut taxes. He is under pressure from some in his party to bring down the tax burden, and says he will launch a productivity review of the public sector in order to make lower taxes “sustainable”.
